Abstract: The present disclosure includes secure device communication. An embodiment includes a processing resource, a memory, and a network management device communication component configured to, send public information to a network attached device communication component, and receive a network attached device public key and an encrypted random string value from the network attached device communication component. The network attached device public key and the random string value are received independent of a type of the network attached device communication component due to the public information. The network management communication component is further configured to decrypt the random string value from the network attached device communication component and send, to the network attached device communication component, a message and a signature to authenticate independent of the type of the network attached device communication component due to the public information.
