Abstract
The present disclosure proposes method and systems for establishing secure communication session (s) between a first device and a second device, where the first device operates in a user network and implements a first key exchange protocol for secure communication. The second device is capable of communicating with the first device over a wireless communication network. The second device implements a second key exchange protocol that is different to the first key exchange protocol for secure communication. A proxy entity configured for implementing the first and the second key exchange protocols for secure communication is provided. The proxy entity is configured for generating and/or provisioning one or more session keys for the first and the second devices using the key exchange protocols specific to each device for establishing secure communication between the first and second device based on the generated session key(s).
