ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for discovering a device on a computer network are disclosed. An exemplary method involves providing key data to be sent with an initiation message. The initiation message is sent by an origination device on a computer network to an undiscovered destination device on the computer network. The initiation message includes the key data. The undiscovered destination device includes an electronic or computing device that the origination device has not sent electronic communications to. The initiation message is received by the undiscovered destination device. The key data is obtained by the undiscovered destination device from the initiation message. Key reply data is provided that is based on the key data. An initiation reply is sent by the undiscovered destination device to the origination device on the computer network. The initiation reply includes the key reply data.
