1. A first device comprising:
a housing;
sensing circuitry, within the housing, configured to obtain sensed physiological data of a patient;
a memory within the housing; and
a processor, within the housing, configured to:
negotiate one or more encryption keys with a second device in accordance with a wireless telemetry protocol in response to receipt of a first request, from the second device, to establish a connection using the wireless telemetry protocol; and
based on not receiving validation information from the second device, the provision of the validation information not defined by the wireless telemetry protocol:
associate an identifier for the second device with a first data in the memory that characterizes the second device as unauthorized to establish the connection in accordance with the wireless telemetry protocol; and
in response to a second request from the second device to establish a connection using the wireless telemetry protocol, and based on the association of the identifier for the second device with the first data in the memory, deny the connection with the second device using the wireless telemetry protocol.
