Improved techniques for facilitating secure data transfer over one-way data channels or narrowband channels are disclosed Often, these channels are wireless channels provided by wireless data networks The techniques enable cryptographic handshake operations for a one-way data channel to be performed over a companion two-way data channel so that the one-way data channel is able to effectively satisfy security protocols that require two-way communications for the cryptographic handshake operations Once the cryptographic handshake operations are complete, data can be transmitted over the one-way data channel in a secure manner Additionally, the techniques also enable the cryptographic handshake operations to be performed more rapidly because the two-way channel is typically a wideband channel In which case, the use of a wideband channel instead of a narrowband channel for the cryptographic handshake operations results in latency reductions, regardless of whether the narrowband channel is a one-way channel or a two-way channelread more
