Abstract
Establish a secure connection from a device to a server by, at the device: sending a shared secret request (SSRq) and an obfuscated secret value of the device to the server, wherein the SSRq is encrypted by a symmetric rolling key known to the device and to a trusted authority but not known to the server and the SSRq incorporates a symmetric key for decrypting the device's obfuscated secret value; receiving a shared secret response (SSRs) and an obfuscated secret value of the server, wherein the device's symmetric rolling key encrypts the SSRs and the SSRs incorporates a symmetric server obfuscation key for decrypting the server's obfuscated secret value; calculating a shared secret by hashing a concatenation of the device's secret value and the server's secret value; generating a symmetric session key based on the shared secret; and establishing the secure connection using the symmetric session key.
