Abstract
A system provides secure communications between a user operated device and a computerized device. The user operated device transfers an enable security message to the computerized device, and in response, the computerized device sends a first communications enablement message to the user operated device and displays a second communications enablement message on a display of the computerized device for viewing by a user operating the user operated device. The user operated device receives the first communications enablement message from the computerized device and receives the second communications enablement message from the user and establishes a secure communications session between the user operated device and the computerized device using the first communications enablement message and the second communications enablement message. The communications enablement messages can contain key material that enable encryption between the user operated device and the computerized device.
