Abstract
Secure communication with a Backscatter Device (BKD) may be provided. A temporal key may be created. The temporal key and a network Identifier (ID) may be encrypted with a public key of a public private key pair associated with the BKD. An excitation frame including the encrypted temporal key and the encrypted network ID may be transmitted to the BKD. The AMP BKD may include a sensor. A BKD frame may be received from the BKD in response to the excitation frame. The BKD frame may include a sensor data encoded with the temporal key and the network ID as a target destination. The BKD frame may be signed using a private key of the public private key pair.
