This disclosure describes techniques for updating firmware of a secure element. The techniques include operations comprising: receiving, by a gateway device, from a remote source, a firmware file; receiving, by a processing element implemented on the gateway device, ephemeral session specific key material for a first secure element implemented on the gateway device; dividing the firmware file into a plurality of data chunks; applying, by the processing element, the ephemeral session specific key material to a first data chunk of the plurality of data chunks to generate a first data packet; and sending, by the processing element, the first data packet to the first secure element.

Methods and processes to securely update secure elements

Methods and systems for trajectory and intent prediction are provided. The methods and systems include operations comprising: receiving an observed trajectory of a user and user behavior information; processing the observed trajectory by a machine learning technique to generate a plurality of predicted trajectories, the machine learning technique being trained to establish a relationship between a plurality of training observed trajectories and training predicted trajectories; adjusting the plurality of predicted trajectories based on the user behavior information to determine user intent to operate a target access control device; determining that the target access control device within a threshold range of a given one of the plurality of predicted trajectories; and in response to determining that the target access control device is within the threshold range of the given one of the plurality of predicted trajectories, performing an operation associated with the target access control device.

Trajectory and intent prediction

A method of operating a seamless physical access control system comprises transferring communication session information using an out-of-band (OOB) communication channel of a smart ultra-wide band (UWB) capable device; establishing a secure OOB communication channel between the smart UWB capable device and a reader device using the communication session information; determining that a UWB enabled application of the smart UWB capable device needs secure ranging; establishing a secure UWB communication channel between the smart UWB capable device and the reader device; and transferring ranging information from a secure component of the smart UWB capable device to the reader device via the secure UWB communication channel.

Upper layer device architecture for ultra-wide band enabled device

A physical access control (PAC) system comprises an authentication device that includes physical layer circuitry and processing circuitry. The physical layer circuitry transmits and receives radio frequency electrical signals over a radio access network. The processing circuitry is operatively coupled to the physical layer circuitry and includes an authentication engine. The authentication engine is configured to receive access credential information via the radio access network using a cloud-based messaging service; authenticate the access credential information using the authentication device; and initiate access to a physical access portal according to the access credential information.

Physical access control systems and methods

Systems and methods for access control systems includes first and second access facilities, and first and second readers. The first reader is configured to control access through the first access facility, receive a credential using a first communication protocol from a device that stores the credential, and establish a secret with the device using the credential. The second reader is configured to control access through the second access facility. The first reader is configured to provide the secret to the second reader, and the second device is further configured to perform ranging using the secret and a second communication protocol different than the first communication protocol to identify intent information. Access through one of the first facility or the second facility is coordinated using the intent information.

Reader coordination for access control

Various systems and methods for providing discovering smart card slots in a device are described herein. A server device for discovering smart card slots in a client device may be implemented with a processor subsystem; and memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to perform operations comprising: receiving, at the server device from the client device, over an established Bluetooth connection, smart card connector parameters, the client device having a plurality of smart card slots; iterating through the plurality of smart card slots; at each slot of the plurality of smart card slots, using a smart card protocol to attempt to access an application at each slot, the application pre-associated with the server device; and in response to identifying the application exists in a slot of the plurality of smart card slots, connecting with the application.

Connection and service discovery for fine ranging applications

A device connectable to a reader of an access control system includes an antenna, an ultra-wide band (UWB) front end circuit, a controller, and a communication link. The (UWB) front end circuit is connected to the antenna to facilitate UWB communication with a credential device. The controller is connected to the UWB front end and configured to perform ranging for the credential device using the UWB communication. The communication link is configured to interface with the reader.

Ultra-wide band device for access control reader system

A reader device of a physical access control system includes an ultra-wide band (UWB) physical layer and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is operatively coupled to the UWB physical layer and is configured to: receive access credential information from a separate second device; receive ranging information from the second device; grant access through a physical portal according to the access credential information and ranging information; determine a number of people intending to pass through the physical portal; and generate an indication according to the determined number.

The access control system may be further adapted to establish a second connection with the key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to determine an intent of the user to access the asset. The access control system may use location data derived from the second connection to determine the intent of the user. The access control system may be further adapted to provide the credential to an access controller, based on identifying an intent of the user to access the asset.
