Abstract

Embodiments are directed towards communicating using a mobile device that performs actions including. A mobile device may be provisioned with an access point such that a provisioning key and a provisioning token for each of the provisioned access points may be stored on the mobile device. The mobile device may be determined to be in the presence of a provisioned access point based on the provisioning key and an advertising nonce. The advertising nonce may be encrypted with the provisioning key. A communication channel between the mobile device and the access point may be established based on a session nonce, the advertising nonce, and the provisioning key. A session key may be generated based in part on the advertising nonce and a message counter. And, encrypted message packets that include a message and a message authentication tag may be communicated to the access point.
