Automated Bluetooth pairing

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to creating a Bluetooth and/or BLE connection between two devices without using a UUID and/or MAC address. For example, a first device storing a private key may enter advertising mode to create a Bluetooth/BLE connection. An advertising packet (e.g., advertising channel packet data unit (PDU) may be transmitted (e.g., in encrypted format). A second device may enter scanning or initiator mode and may receive the advertising packet. A second device may request that a user log into an account associated with the first device (e.g., a customer account, a financial account, an employee account, and/or the like) in order to initiate a Bluetooth/BLE connection. A second device user may enter login credentials via the second device, which may then be transmitted to a backend system. A backend system may receive and validate the login credentials and, in response, transmit a public key to the second device. The public key may be transmitted in an encrypted format. A second device may receive the public key and may use the public key to perform a public/private key handshake in order to validate the first device. The handshake may then be validated by the first device and a Bluetooth and/or BLE connection may be created.
