Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a secure exchange of encryption keys (e.g., public keys) between two devices. One or more initialization keys are stored at both devices. In some embodiments, at least one device (e.g., a reader device) stores the initialization key(s) (e.g., a symmetric key, an asymmetric key pair) in local memory as part of performance of a manufacturing process for the device. The second device (e.g., a thin client device) may receive the initialization key(s) from an acceptance cloud (e.g., a server computer configured to perform terminal processing). The initialization key(s) are utilized to perform a secure exchange of the devices' respective public keys. Once these public keys are exchanged, the devices may proceed to establishing a secure connection with which subsequent operations may be performed.
