1. A method comprising: (1) (5)

determining a first subject-specific encryption-key value to be loaded onto a neuromodulation-therapy implant device, the first subject-specific encryption-key value being configured to generate a signature that is to be included in at least some of a plurality of data packets that are to be transmitted by the neuromodulation-therapy implant device, wherein the signature for each data packet of the at least some data packets is generated by: generating, using the first subject-specific encryption-key value, a hash value of data of the data packet; and

encrypting, using the first subject-specific encryption-key value, the hash value;

receiving a request from a mobile device for a second subject-specific encryption-key value, the request including a subject identifier;

authenticating the request from the mobile device, said authenticating comprising comparing the subject identifier and one or more additional characteristics of the request, to subject data records stored in an authentication data store;

retrieving from a data store, the second subject-specific encryption-key value associated with the subject identifier, wherein second encryption-key value is different than but corresponds to the first subject-specific encryption-key value; and

transmitting, to the mobile device, the second encryption-key value corresponding to the first subject-specific encryption-key value.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (3) (1)

transmitting, by the mobile device, a pairing request to a neuromodulation-therapy implant device, the pairing request including the second subject-specific encryption-key value.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: (3) (2)

in response to the pairing request, receiving a device identifier from the neuromodulation-therapy implant device; and

using the device identifier for subsequent communication sessions with the neuromodulation-therapy implant device.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising: (0) (1)

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising: (0) (1)

6. The method of claim 3, further comprising: (0) (1)

7. The method of claim 2, wherein the pairing request is transmitted to the neuromodulation-therapy implant device by the mobile device via NFC or Bluetooth. (0)

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the transmitting the pairing request to the neuromodulation-therapy implant device comprises: (0) (2)

9. A system comprising: (1) (4)

one or more data processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed by the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations including: determining a first subject-specific encryption-key value to be loaded onto a neuromodulation-therapy implant device, the first subject-specific encryption-key value being configured to generate a signature that is to be included in at least some of a plurality of data packets that are transmitted by the neuromodulation-therapy implant device, wherein the signature for each data packet of the at least some data packets is generated by:

generating, using the first subject-specific encryption-key value, a hash value of data of the data packet; and

encrypting, using the first subject-specific encryption-key value, the hash value; receiving a request from a mobile device for a second subject-specific encryption-key value, the request including a subject identifier;

transmitting, to the mobile device, the second encryption-key value corresponding to the first subject-specific encryption-key value.

10. The system of claim 9, further comprising: (2) (1)

transmitting, by the mobile device, a pairing request to a neuromodulation-therapy implant device, the pairing request including the second subject-specific encryption-key value.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising: (2) (2)

in response to the pairing request, receiving a device identifier from the neuromodulation-therapy implant device; and

using the device identifier for subsequent communication sessions with the neuromodulation-therapy implant device.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising: (0) (1)

13. The system of claim 11, further comprising: (0) (1)

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the transmitting the pairing request to the neuromodulation-therapy implant device comprises: (0) (2)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed by one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations including: (1) (5)

determining a first subject-specific encryption-key value to be loaded onto a neuromodulation-therapy implant device, the first subject-specific encryption-key value being configured to generate a signature that is to be included in at least some of a plurality of data packets that are transmitted by the neuromodulation-therapy implant device, wherein the signature for each data packet of the at least some data packets is generated by:

receiving a request from a mobile device for a second subject-specific encryption-key value, the request including a subject identifier;

transmitting, to the mobile device, the second encryption-key value corresponding to the first subject-specific encryption-key value.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising: (2) (1)

transmitting, by the mobile device, a pairing request to a neuromodulation-therapy implant device, the pairing request including the second subject-specific encryption-key value.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, further comprising: (2) (2)

in response to the pairing request, receiving a device identifier from the neuromodulation-therapy implant device; and

using the device identifier for subsequent communication sessions with the neuromodulation-therapy implant device.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising: (0) (1)

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising: (0) (1)

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the transmitting the pairing request to the neuromodulation-therapy implant device comprises: (0) (2)
