Abstract
Embodiments include devices and methods for providing secure communications between a first computing device and a second computing device are disclosed. A processor of the first computing device may determine in a first application software first security key establishment information. The processor may provide the first security key establishment information to a communication layer of the first computing device for transmission to the second computing device. The processor may receive, in the first application software from the communication layer of the first computing device, second security key establishment information received from the second computing device. The processor may determine a first security key by the first application software based at least in part on the second security key establishment information. The processor may provide the first security key to the communication layer for protecting messages from the first application software to the second computing device.
