Abstract
An access control system includes a mobile library on a mobile device operable to communicate with the credential service, the mobile library operable to receive the credential from the credential service and a credential module for an access control, the credential module operable to receive virtual card data from the credential, the virtual card data usable to operate the access control.
Claims14
A credential module within an access control, comprising:
- a transceiver that advertises a presence on a periodic rate with an advertisement data that indicates an identifier of the access control such that a mobile library scans for the advertisement data and compares the identifier of the access control in the advertisement data with an identifier in an encrypted mobile credential in the mobile library, the encrypted mobile credential comprising an identifier and virtual card data, and the mobile library automatically connects and sends the encrypted mobile credential to the transceiver,
- a credential service operable to generate a set of encrypted mobile credentials from a permission, wherein the permission specifies access rights for a user to the access control, the credential module operable to extract the virtual card data from the encrypted mobile credential and send the virtual card data to a processor of the access control;
- wherein the processor of the access control is in communication with the transceiver, the processor of the access control is operable to decrypt and validate the encrypted mobile credential, and the virtual card data is then communicated to an access control controller to open the access control.
