Abstract

A method of pairing a user device with a remote system. The user device communicates with an intermediary device via a secure communication channel to cause a secret key generated by the remote system to be received by the user device, from the intermediary device. The secret key is thereby assigned to the user device. The user device establishes communication with the remote system to pair the user device with the remote system using the secret key, such that data sent from the user device to the remote system is encrypted using the secret key and data received by the user device from the remote system is decrypted using the secret key.
