Data offloading from wireless sensing devices to gateway devices
The patent US12069041B1 outlines a method and system for secure communication between a gateway device and a wireless sensing device, facilitated by a management server. The process begins with the management server generating a certificate upon determining that the gateway device is associated with the wireless sensing device. This certificate is transmitted to the gateway during their initial connection. The gateway device then verifies its authorization to connect with the wireless sensing device based on the certificate, which may include checking identifiers against a list of authorized devices or matching identifiers within the certificate itself. Once authorized, the gateway transmits the certificate to the wireless sensing device and can subsequently receive data from it.
Additionally, the patent describes the use of digital signatures to further authenticate the gateway device. The gateway generates a digital signature using its private key, which is then verified by the wireless sensing device using the corresponding public key included in the certificate. The management server also plays a role in managing associations between devices and organizations, ensuring that the correct identifiers are transmitted and that data received from the wireless sensing device reflects accurate sensor measurements. This structured approach enhances the security and integrity of the communication between the gateway and the wireless sensing device, establishing a reliable framework for data exchange in wireless sensing applications.
