Abstract
This application relates to establishing a communication session between a host device and a trusted client device. A host device generates a one-time secret (OTS) and transmits the OTS to a trusted client device via an out-of-band communication channel. The trusted client device verifies an identity of a user of the trusted client device utilizing one or more sensors of the trusted client device. Responsive to verifying the identity of the user, the trusted client device negotiates an encryption key with the host device based on the OTS. The trusted client device then establishes a communication session with the host device utilizing the encryption key. The communication session can be utilized to pass credentials in a protected manner from the trusted client device to the host device that enable the host device to access a user account associated with a service.
