Embodiments of the present application generally relate to controlling ingress/egress through entryway devices. More particularly, but not exclusively, embodiments of the present invention relate to attaining confirmation of intent relating to access to a controlled opening. According to certain embodiments, the credential device and/or the user of the credential device is prompted to provide a response, or otherwise is to perform certain actions, that can demonstrate a confirmation of intent to gain access to the controlled opening. Such responses and/or actions can be evaluated to determine authority to gain access to the controlled opening. Further, such intent confirmation events may, depending on the embodiment, be performed before or after credential information is communicated from the credential device and/or before or after pairing of the access control device and the credential device. According to other embodiments, intent may be confirmed, at least in part, based on changes in the characteristics of signals communicated from the credential device.

Wireless credential proximity control

A wireless connection may be established between a mobile device and a reader device and/or a sensor. The reader device and/or sensor may authenticate the mobile device. The reader device and/or sensor may receive a credential or token from the mobile device. An action may be performed based on certain criteria such as if the credential or token is valid.

Control system and method

A system and method for the management of electronic credentials stored on mobile devices. The system may encrypt information that is provided to a lock device and an access control system using diversification keys. The diversification keys may be generated by supplying a master key and a component identifier such as, for example, a mobile device identifier, to a diversification algorithm. The mobile device may be a conduit for the communication of information between the access control system and the lock device. The mobile device may be unable to decrypt information that has been encrypted by a diversification key. Embodiments also provide for enrolling administrative mobile devices with the access control system, the distribution and revocation of credential identifiers for user mobile device, and removing administrative mobile devices that are enrolled with lock devices.

Electronic credential management system

A reader device may generate a first identifier. The reader device may transmit the first identifier to a mobile device. The reader device may receive encrypted data and unencrypted data from the mobile device in which the encrypted data includes a second identifier. The reader device may evaluate whether the first identifier and the second identifier correspond to one another.

System and method for NFC peer-to-peer authentication and secure data transfer

Methods and systems for controlling a network access control system that includes a server encrypting a first identifier that can be related to a registered user and communicating the encrypted first identifier to the mobile device. The lock device receives, from the mobile device, a first data set that includes at least the encrypted first identifier. The lock device may encrypt the first data set to generate a second data set and communicates the encrypted second data set to the mobile device. The server receives a third data set that includes at least the encrypted second data set and a second identifier that can also be related to the registered user. The server extracts from the communicated third data set the first and second identifiers, and the extracted first and second identifiers are compared to verify that the second identifier is indeed related to the first identifier.

Networked access control system

A server may receive information from a computer, store the information in a database at the server, determine a reader device that is configured to receive and/or process credential information and/or a unique identifier and to receive the information based on an analysis of the information, select one or more mobile devices to deliver the information to the reader, and transmit data to the one or more mobile devices where the data includes at least a portion of the information.

Cloud-based wireless communication system and method for updating a reader device

A wireless access control system is provided including an electronic lock, a wireless transport device configured for wireless communication with a network and with the electronic lock and having access privilege to the electronic lock, and wherein the wireless transport device is configured to wirelessly receive data from the network, to wirelessly deliver the data to the electronic lock, and to verify to the network that the data has been successfully transferred to the electronic lock. In one embodiment, the wireless transport device is a cellular phone. A method is also provided including transporting data wirelessly from a network to a plurality of cellular phones having access privileges to an electronic lock, and delivering the data to the electronic lock wirelessly using at least one of the cellular phones.
