Abstract

A method of securely deploying information to a device includes placing a device into a shielded structure and exchanging timing messages between a keying device located inside the shielded structure and a beacon located outside of the shielded structure. The shielded structure is closed. The exchange of timing messages is terminated, and upon termination, the keying device transfers the information via one or more shielded messages to the device, and the beacon jams the frequency at which the shielded messages are transferred. The shielded structure is opened, and the keying device and beacon exchange messages to verify the secure deployment of the information.
