A remote communication device can receive a discovery key; receive a communication key and a key identifier, ID, for the communication key; and discover a relay communication device. Discovering the relay communication device can include receiving an encrypted discovery message from the relay communication device and decrypting the encrypted discovery message using the discovery key. The remote communication device can further transmit a direct communication request to the relay communication device responsive to receiving and decrypting the encrypted discovery message from the relay communication device. The direct communication request can include the key ID for the communication key. The remote communication device can further receive an encrypted direct communication response from the relay communication device. Receiving the encrypted direct communication response can include decrypting the encrypted direct communication response.
