Abstract

See full text

The embodiments provide a cryptography key for two communicating devices that is based on information known only to the devices. The information may only be determined by the devices. Each device determines the information without communicating key information related to the encryption key with the other. Channel characteristic reciprocity between the devices allows creation of identical keys in each device. Each device sends a signal to the other device at the same power level based on the distance between the devices. The power level may be set to result in a target receive power level at the other device. Each device samples the received signal, generates sampling results, creates a key based on the sampling results and a threshold power level, and utilizes the key. The threshold power level may be based on the target receive power level, or a median power determined from the sampling results.
