Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to providing secure gatekeeping of communication from a remote internet-based website having an Internet-Protocol (IP) address to an implantable biomedical device. A gatekeeping device receives the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website. The communication received is encoded using a first encoding algorithm. The gatekeeping device decodes the communication received. The gatekeeping device then encodes the communication decoded using a second encoding algorithm. The gatekeeping device wirelessly relays the communication encoded using the second encoding algorithm to the implantable biomedical device. In some embodiments, the gatekeeping device compares the IP address of the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website with a predetermined static IP address corresponding to the implantable biomedical device and rejects the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website if the IP address is not that of the predetermined static IP address corresponding to the implantable biomedical device.
