Biometric-based wireless device association

Abstract

According to one aspect of the present disclosure a system and technique for refreshing memory topology in virtual machine operating systems is disclosed. The system includes a processor and logic executable by the processor to: receive biometric data corresponding to a user of the data processing system; create a certificate based on the biometric data; discover a wireless device able to communicate with the data processing system; responsive to discovering the wireless device, automatically request a certificate from the wireless device; and responsive to the certificate from the wireless device matching the certificate created by the data processing system, automatically associate the wireless device with the data processing system.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A data processing system, comprising:
 a processor; and 
 logic executable by the processor, the logic executable by the processor to:
 responsive to receiving an input of biometric data from a user of the data processing system, automatically create a certificate based on the biometric data and 
 automatically request a biometric-based certificate from an unpaired wireless device discovered by the data processing system; 
 responsive to the certificate from the wireless device matching the certificate created by the data processing system, automatically the wireless device with the data processing system; and 
 after pairing the wireless device with the data processing system, automatically purge the biometric data and the certificates from the data processing system. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to receive a fingerprint of the user as the biometric data. 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to, responsive to determining that the wireless device lacks a certificate matching the certificate created by the data processing system, refuse an association of the wireless device to the data processing system. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic is executable to preconfigure a wireless device owned by the user with a certificate generated based on the biometric data. 
     
     
       5. A computer program product for automatically associating a wireless device to a data processing system, the computer program product comprising:
 a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable program code configured to:
 responsive to receiving an input by the data processing system of biometric data from a user of the data processing system, automatically create a certificate based on the biometric data and 
 automatically request a biometric-based certificate from an unpaired wireless device discovered by the data processing system; 
 responsive to the certificate from the wireless device matching the certificate created by the data processing system, automatically the wireless device with the data processing system; and 
 after pairing the wireless device with the data processing system, automatically purge the biometric data and the certificates from the data processing system. 
 
 
     
     
       6. The computer program product of  claim 5 , wherein the computer readable program code is configured to receive a fingerprint of the user as the biometric data. 
     
     
       7. The computer program product of  claim 5 , wherein the computer readable program code is configured to, responsive to determining that the wireless device lacks a certificate matching the certificate created by the data processing system, refuse an association of the wireless device to the data processing system. 
     
     
       8. The computer program product of  claim 5 , wherein the computer readable program code is configured to preconfigure a wireless device owned by the user with a certificate generated based on the biometric data.
