Abstract
Various systems and methods for using single pairing for multiple technologies are provided herein. A system comprises a transceiver; a communication controller to interface with the transceiver and cause the transceiver to: connect to a remote device using a first protocol, the first protocol including a long term key for use in successive connections between the system and the remote device with the first protocol; and receive, from the remote device, a set of technologies supported by the remote device; and a security manager to: determine a set of common technologies; receive from the remote device, a set of tuples for each technology in the set of common technologies, each tuple comprising an identifier associated with the remote device for each technology and a corresponding technology; and create long term keys for use in later connections with the remote device using a technology from the set of technologies.
