Patent attributes
In a general aspect, secure messaging between electronic modules is described. In an example, a method includes: generating, by a first electronic module, a private key and a public key associated with the private key; communicating, by the first electronic module, an unencrypted message, including the public key, to a first network-connected device using a first module-to-device communication link; receiving, from the first network-connected device, an encrypted message including a symmetric encryption key generated by a second electronic module; decrypting, by the first electronic module, the encrypted message using the private key, wherein decrypting using the private key makes the symmetric encryption key available to the first electronic module; and establishing, by the first electronic module, a secure messaging channel with the second electronic module based on at least the symmetric encryption key.
