WIRELESS SECURITY CONFIGURATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
A wireless network security method comprises a first communications device generating configuration settings for wireless access and transferring that information to a second communications device through a removable storage device or directly through a physical electrical interface.
1 . A wireless network security method comprising:
receiving information by a storage device from a first communication device, the information being associated with configuration settings for access by a second communication device; and
transferring the information from the storage device to the second communication device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving comprises:
establishing a connection between the first communication device and the storage device;
wherein the first communication device stores configuration settings on the storage device.
3 . A method of claim 2 where the transfer to the storage device from the first communications device happens when a button is pushed on the first communications device or when the interface is first established.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the receiving further comprises:
terminating the connection between the first communication device and the storage device.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring comprises establishing a connection between the storage device and the second communication device;
wherein the storage device transfers configuration settings to the second communication device.
6 . The method of claim 5 where the transfer to the second communications device happens when a button is pushed on the second communications device or when the interface is first established between the storage device and the second communications device.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing a secure wireless connection between the first and second communication device using the configuration settings.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving and/or transferring uses a USB interface.
9 . The method of claim 1 where the receiving and/or transferring uses a standard physical electrical interface.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving and/or transferring uses a standard wireless interface.
11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the wireless interface is a Bluetooth interface.
12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the wireless interface is a IEEE 802.11 interface.
13 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the wireless interface is a 3G DO interface.
14 . A wireless network security method comprising:
transferring information from a first communication device to a second communication device, the information being associated with configuration settings for access by the second communication device; and
receiving the information from the first communication device;
configuring the settings on the second communication device; and
establishing a secure wireless connection between the first communication and second communication device.
15 . The method of claim 14 where the receiving and/or transferring uses a standard physical electrical interface.
16 . The system of claim 14 wherein the first communication device is a wireless routing device.
17 . The system of claim 14 wherein the second communication device is a computing device.
18 . A wireless communications device comprising:
the ability to generate a configuration settings and an interface for transferring data to or from another wireless communications device; the interface being adapted to transfer configuration settings to a second communication device for establishing wireless access to the second wireless communications device.
19 . The device of claim 18 wherein the wireless communications device automatically generates the settings and sets the configurations on the second communication device when the interface is established.
20 . The device of claim 18 wherein the wireless communications device sets the configurations on the second communication device when a button is pushed on the first device.
21 . The device of claim 18 wherein the settings are generated and configured in order to establish a secure wireless connection between the first and second communication devices.
22 . The device of claim 18 wherein the interface is a physical electrical interface or a wireless interface.
23 . The device of claim 18 wherein the second communication device is a computer.
24 . The device of claim 18 wherein the first communication device is a wireless router.
25 . A removable storage device comprising:
an interface for transporting data to a first communications device; and
a module for storing configurations generated on a communication device.
26 . The device of claim 25 wherein module is able to set the stored configurations on a second communication device.
27 . The device of claim 25 wherein the settings are generated in order to establish a secure wireless network between the two communication devices.
28 . The device of claim 26 wherein the interface is a USB dongle.
29 . The device of claim 25 wherein the configuration settings are automatically generated through an auto run program on the device.
30 . A system for transferring wireless network security data comprising:
a storage device;
a first communication device; and
a second communication device;
wherein the storage device receives information from the first communication device and transfers the data to the second communication.
31 . The system of claim 30 wherein a secure wireless connection is established between the first and second communication device.
32 . The system of claim 30 wherein the first communication device is a computing device.
33 . The system of claim 30 wherein the second communication device is a wireless routing device.
34 . The system of claim 30 wherein the first communication device is a wireless routing device.
35 . The system of claim 30 wherein the second communication device is a computing device.
