Abstract
A device implementing a system for device-relationship based communication includes at least one processor configured to establish, by a first device associated with a first user, a secure communication channel with a second device associated with a second user via a direct wireless connection. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, over the secure communication channel, first device-identifying information to the second device, and receive, over the secure communication channel, second device-identifying information from the second device. The at least one processor is configured to establish a particular type of relationship with the second device, store the second device-identifying information in association with an indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device, and transmit, to the second device and over the secure communication channel, the indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device.
