Authenticating devices utilizing Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to facilitate exchange of authentication information or other data to permit or otherwise enable access to services requiring authentication credentials, certificates, tokens or other information. The authentication may utilize Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP) certificates, Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters or other information available to the authenticating devices, optionally without requiring device requesting authentication to obtain an X.509 certificate.

Certificate authentication

Service discovery and other operations related to enabling devices to announce, discover or otherwise control their services and/or the services offered or available from other devices is contemplated. The service discovery may facilitate service discovery for services sourced from devices inside and outside of a network and/or from devices having incompatible messaging capabilities.

DTCP certificate authentication over TLS protocol

Administration of sessions, such as but not necessarily user interface (UI) and media sessions, is contemplated. The session administration may include transferring and/or sharing a session from one client to another without requiring an application required to process the transferred/shared session to be operational when receiving an action used to initialize session administration.
