SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR AUTHENTICATION AND SECURITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015007 titled 'SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR AUTHENTICATION AND SECURITY

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about wireless communication and specifically focuses on device authentication. It describes systems and techniques for authenticating devices using audio signals.

  • An apparatus for wireless communication receives an audio signal from a second device through a microphone.
  • The apparatus decodes the audio signal to determine an encoded value.
  • Based on the encoded value, the apparatus identifies that the audio signal is associated with the second device.
  • The apparatus establishes a connection to the second device once it confirms the association between the audio signal and the second device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Device authentication in wireless communication systems.
  • Secure pairing of devices without the need for additional hardware or complex procedures.
  • Enhancing the security of wireless networks and preventing unauthorized access.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the device authentication process by using audio signals.
  • Reduces the reliance on traditional methods such as passwords or physical connections.
  • Provides a more convenient and efficient way to establish secure connections between devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved security in wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced user experience by eliminating the need for manual authentication procedures.
  • Enables seamless and secure communication between devices without the need for additional hardware.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure generally relates to wireless communication. some aspects of the present disclosure include systems and techniques for device authentication. for example, an apparatus for wireless communication may receive, via a microphone, an audio signal from a second device. the apparatus may decode the audio signal to determine an encoded value. the apparatus may further determine that the audio signal is associated with the second device based on the encoded value. the apparatus may further establish a connection to the second device based on determining that the audio signal is associated with the second device.
