A system and method for securely verifying a connection between a remote device and an audio device. The method includes establishing a wireless connection between the remote device and the audio device. The remote device has an application configured to control operation of the audio device. An identity resolving key (IRK) for the application is obtained with the remote device. The IRK is transmitted to the audio device via the wireless connection. An instruction to is transmitted the audio device to generate a random resolvable address for the application using the IRK and to broadcast data containing the random resolvable address. The data containing the random resolvable address is received by the application of the remote device. An active audio connection between the remote device and the audio device is identified if the random resolvable address is able to be resolved by the application using the IRK.
