An Enhanced Shared Secret Provisioning Protocol (ESSPP) provides a novel method and system for adding devices to a network in a secure manner. A registration process is launched at two network devices together within a predetermined time interval. These two devices then automatically register with each other. When two devices running ESSPP detect each other, they exchange identities and establish a key that can later be used by the devices to mutually authenticate each other and generate session encryption keys. With ESSPP, two ESSPP devices that are attempting to register with each other will only provision a key when they detect that they are the only two ESSPP devices on the wireless network running ESSPP. If additional devices running ESSPP are detected, the ESSPP protocol is either terminated or suspended.

The invention relates to a control method of a pointer type CDMA quartz clock, and belongs to the technical field of clock production and processing. According to the control method of the pointer type CDMA quartz clock provided by the invention, the pointer type clock is mainly subjected to timing by taking a precise satellite time provided by a CDMA mobile phone network signal which is wide in signal coverage and great in signal intensity as a standard time by virtue of a CDMA circuit module. The method does not severely require the geographic position of the quartz clock as that of a radio controlled clock. The position is random. Even if the clock is mounted in a building, the CDMA signal is also powerful, so that the defect that the radio controlled clock cannot receive weak signals or mistakenly decodes the signals is avoided effectively. Moreover, a receiving antenna is built in the quartz clock like that of a mobile phone, so that the clock is very easy to mount and suitable for various occasions such as domestic use and office. The CDMA circuit module provides the precise satellite time and the theoretical error of the provided time is nearly zero while the actual error does not exceed 5 milliseconds.
