Zusammenfassung:Some techniques are described herein for initiating a secure communication between a mount and a computer system. Such techniques include the mount detecting that the computer system is coupled to the mount and, in response, sending a message to the computer system with an identifier of the mount. The mount then receives a request to establish the secure communication with the computer system via a different communication channel than used to send the message. For example, the message can be sent using Near Field Communication (NFC) and the request can be to establish a short-range communication channel using Bluetooth. Other techniques are described herein for reconnecting a secure communication between a mount and a computer system using similar techniques as described above.
