A method performed by a computing device of establishing a secret shared between a first communications device and at least one second communications device is provided. The method comprises acquiring, using a first means of communication with the first communications device, a first data representation from which the shared secret can be derived. The method further comprises generating a second data representation from the first data representation, from which second data representation the shared secret can be derived. Moreover, the method comprises providing, using a second means of communication, the second communications device with the second data representation, the first means of communication being different from the second means of communication.
