20090327724 | TWO-WAY AUTHENTICATION BETWEEN TWO COMMUNICATION ENDPOINTS USING A ONE-WAY OUT-OF-BAND (OOB) CHANNEL - Techniques for two-way authentication between two communication endpoints (e.g., two devices) using a one-way out-of-band (OOB) channel are presented. Here, in embodiments, both communication endpoints may be securely authenticated as long as the one-way OOB channel is tamper-proof.
