1. A method of securely pairing a first device with a second device for wireless communication therebetween comprising:
providing each of the first device and the second device with predefined data;
the first device transmitting advertising signals at selected intervals and in a selected radio frequency range via a first antenna;
the second device scanning in the selected radio frequency via a second antenna;
the first device providing data to be shared with the second device in the advertising signals;
the second device receiving the shared data via the scanning;
the second device and the first device each using at least part of the shared data and at least part of the predefined data to generate an out of band [OOB] key, the OOB key generated by the first device being identical to the OOB key generated by the second device; and
the second device and the first device performing OOB pairing with each other using their respective OOB key prior to performing short-range wireless communication paring.
