Mighton Products has also
developed ‘optical pairing’ as
part of the process for adding a
lock to consumer home system
and devices. Optical pairing is
a Bluetooth® pairing method
developed by Mighton Products
Ltd as a form of Bluetooth® out-
of-band pairing. It is known to
be secure against ‘man-in-the-
middle’ attacks due to its inherent
privacy, made possible by the
close physical proximity and the
single ‘point to point’ procedure.
It works by communicating one of
the Bluetooth® pairing encryption
keys through a ‘light flashing
pattern’ from one device to the
other. When optical pairing, only
the devices that participate will
communicate with each other.
“We believe that every smart lock
should be subject to the industry’s
most rigorous testing, including
both hardware and software
components,” said Mike Derham,
Chairman, Mighton Products Ltd.
“Avia is all about security and about
peace of mind, so we didn’t want to
make Avia just secure, we wanted
to be able to prove Avia’s security
credentials too. That’s why we
have sent Avia to the world’s best
security testing houses for both
physical and cyber security testing
to be completely scrutinised, and
we are proud to receive their
validation, as well as the validation
from IoT Breakthrough with this
2020 IoT Breakthrough Award
designation.”
