Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for device to device authentication. For instance, a first device may detect a second device, such as when a user physically attaches the second device to the first device or when the second device wireless communicates with the first device. A component of the first device and/or an authentication entity may then determine to authenticate the second device. In some instances, the component determines to authenticate the second device using information associated with an environment of the second device. To authenticate the second device, the authentication entity may send a request to a user, receive a response from the user, and then verify the response. After the authentication, the first device may determine that the second device includes a trusted device and establish a connection with the second device.
