Abstract

See full text

A system for preventing unauthorized access to the programming and control features of a fire/security/control systems remote sensors. The exemplary embodiment of the present invention utilizes an association of transmitter identity/address with a central processor/control fire/security data base, which in turn is configured to securely program each transmitter with its location and function, or 'personality'. The various, individual sensors and central processor/control unit communicate individually via individual, repeatable pseudo randomization algorithms, producing a several bit result. The communicating central processor/control and each sensor must have a match on outgoing/incoming code before the transmitting sensor will accept the programming on its personality. The exemplary embodiment of the present invention also utilizes a randomization seed, which can altered occasionally, to further increase security.
