Systems and methods for facilitating use of physical tokens in a transit system are disclosed. In one implementation, a method for facilitating use of physical tokens by a server includes generating a token identifier and generating, using a private key associated with the server, a cryptographic signature based on the token identifier. The method further includes transmitting the token identifier and the cryptographic signature to a token dispenser. The token dispenser is configured to dispense a physical token, and the physical token is configured to provide the token identifier and the cryptographic signature to a token validator. The method also includes receiving, from the token dispenser, (i) a first indication that the physical token is dispensed, (ii) selection of a fare type, and (iii) dispenser context data including a dispense location, associating the token identifier with the selected fare type and the dispenser context data, and receiving, from the token validator, a second indication that the physical token is being validated. The second indication (i) is transmitted after the token validator verifies the cryptographic signature using a public key associated with the server, and (ii) includes the token identifier provided by the physical token and validator context data including a validation location. Furthermore, the method includes identifying the fare type associated with the token identifier, accessing, based on the fare type, a set of restrictions governing use of the physical token, and determining whether the physical token is valid based on (i) the accessed set of restrictions, (ii) the validator context data associated with the token identifier provided by the physical token, and (iii) the dispenser context data received from the token validator. Moreover, the method includes transmitting a communication to the ticket validator indicating whether the physical token is valid, wherein the ticket validator, in response to receiving the communication, outputs an indicator whether the physical token is valid.

Systems and methods for providing and validating a digital ticket are disclosed. In one implementation, a ticket validating device includes one or more processors configured to obtain a digital ticket, a ticket-server signature, and a device signature from a ticket holder's device. The digital ticket is obtained from a ticket server by the ticket holder's device, the ticket-server signature is generated based on the digital ticket using a private key associated with the ticket server, and the device signature is generated based on the digital ticket using a private key associated with the ticket holder's device. The one or more processors are further configured to validate the digital ticket. The validation of the digital ticket includes verifying the ticket-server signature using a public key corresponding to the private key associated with the ticket server, and verifying the device signature using a public key corresponding to the private key associated with the ticket holder's device. Moreover, the one or more processors are further configured to cause generation of an output based on a result of the validation of the digital ticket.

Techniques for Check-In/Be-out (CiBo) and Be-in/Be-out (BiBo) using Mesh Networks are disclosed. In one implementation, an access control system includes a mesh network. The mesh network includes a set of mesh nodes disposed proximate to a gate to an access-controlled area and a master mesh node communicatively coupled to the set of mesh nodes. The master mesh node is configured to determine whether a device is near the gate based on a strength of a signal received at one of the set of the mesh nodes from the device. The system further includes a validator communicatively coupled to the master mesh node and a backend system. The validator is configured to: receive an indication from the master mesh node that the device is near the gate, determine, based on the indication, whether the device is authorized to enter or exit through the gate, and transmit a result of the determination of whether the device is authorized to enter or exit through the gate to the backend system.
