Method and apparatus for device identifier composition engine certificate-based security and out-of-band temporary key generation for bluetooth pairing

Abstract

An information handling system includes a hardware processor and a memory device to execute code instructions of an automatic peripheral device pairing management system pairing agent to receive, via a wireless interface adapter, a device identifier composition engine (DICE) certificate from a wireless peripheral device indicating the identity of the wireless peripheral device, the DICE certificate including a public key. The hardware processor executes computer readable program code of an out-of-band (OOB) temporary key generator agent to generate an OOB temporary key. The hardware processor executes the computer readable program code of the automatic peripheral device pairing management system pairing agent to encrypt the OOB temporary key using the public key. The hardware processor to sends the public key-encrypted OOB temporary key to the wireless peripheral device to be decrypted using a private key at the wireless peripheral device. The hardware processor executes a confirm value generation function to confirm that the OOB temporary key matches the decrypted OOB temporary key at the wireless peripheral device to automatically Bluetooth® (BT) pair the information handling system to the wireless peripheral device.
