Abstract
One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for connection authentication are provided herein. A mobile device or device may act as an initiator of a connection with a vehicle, which acts as a target. A user utilizing the device may initiate a connection request by launching an application or browser on the device. The device transmits the connection request to the vehicle. The vehicle may receive the connection request and respond with a device identifier (ID) request. A user of the device may select whether or not to continue. If the user continues, the device transmits a device ID of the device to the vehicle. An interface component may render the connection request for an occupant of the vehicle, such as the driver, and await a response. In this way, a driver of a vehicle may act as a gatekeeper for connections.
