    Abstract: This application relates to a computing device that can be configured to implement a method for enabling a nearby computing device to access a wireless network by carrying out the techniques described herein. In particular, the method can include the steps of (1) receiving a request from the nearby computing device to access the wireless network, where the request includes user information associated with the nearby computing device, (2) presenting a notification associated with the request in response to determining, based on the user information, that the nearby computing device is recognized by the computing device, and (3) in response to receiving an approval for the nearby computing device to access the wireless network: providing, to the nearby computing device, a password for accessing the wireless network.

    Abstract: Embodiments for securely determining a separation distance between wireless communication devices is provided. These embodiments include receiving a measurement request and a first random identifier from a first wireless communication device at a second wireless communication device. The embodiments also includes deriving a transient key using the first random identifier, a second random identifier (generated by the second device), and a pre-shared key. The first and second random identifiers, the pre-shared key, and the transient key derived therefrom are shared between the first and second devices, but are not known to any other devices. The embodiments further include encrypting measurement data exchanged between the two devices using the transient key, and using the encrypted measurement data to calculate and verify a separation distance between the devices. The embodiments thus prevent dishonest wireless communication devices from intercepting communications and spoofing a location of one of the two honest devices.

    Abstract translation: 提供了用于安全地确定无线通信设备之间的分隔距离的实施例。 这些实施例包括在第二无线通信设备处从第一无线通信设备接收测量请求和第一随机标识符。 实施例还包括使用第一随机标识符,第二随机标识符(由第二设备生成)和预共享密钥来导出临时密钥。 第一和第二随机标识符,预共享密钥以及从其中导出的临时密钥在第一和第二设备之间共享,但是对于任何其他设备都不知道。 实施例还包括使用瞬态密钥加密在两个设备之间交换的测量数据,并且使用加密的测量数据来计算和验证设备之间的分隔距离。 因此,实施例防止不诚实的无线通信设备拦截通信并欺骗两个诚实设备之一的位置。
