Certified Wireless USB devices require a handshaking protocol as they cannot be paired through a USB cable as found on their wired counterparts, and those dealing with a screen can do this through a graphical interface. WiQuest aims to make the entire experience easier with a new PIN association method. This offers enterprise-level security by assigning the user with a special character key or PIN (up to 28 characters long) to each WUSB device. After the wireless association process kicks in, the PC's software will prompt for the same PIN, and entering the right code will complete the secure pairing.
