Abstract
A method and apparatus for authenticating a wireless connection between a first device and a second device. In a first aspect, the first device generates a changing passkey code and converts the passkey code to an audio file that is played through a speaker of the first device as an audible signal. A user hears the audible signal and enters the passkey code into a keyboard of the second device. The second device sends the entered code to the first device for authentication. In a second aspect, the first device generates a passkey code and displays the code on a screen. A user speaks the code aloud to a microphone on the second device. The second device converts the speech into text and then sends the converted speech to the first device for authentication. If the codes of the first or second aspect match, the wireless connection is authenticated.
