Short-range device communications for secured resource access

A system authorizing a user having an access-enabling code to an event, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• obtain biometric credentials from the user assigned to a user device, wherein the biometric credentials includes one or more of:
• a self-portrait, a fingerprint or a voiceprint;
• receive one or more wireless signals from a client device;
• detect the client device based the one or more wireless signals;
• establish a short-range communication channel with the detected client device;
• transmit a first signal including the biometric credentials and a user public key to the client device;
• receive a second signal including encoded biometric credentials, wherein the biometric credentials are encoded using the user public key;
• decode the received second signal including the encoded biometric credentials using a private key;
• generate decoded biometric credentials;
• and
• present the decoded biometric credentials to the client device for entry into the event.

A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a processing apparatus to perform operations for authorizing a user having an access-enabling code to an event, including:

• receiving biometric credentials from the user assigned to a user device, wherein the biometric credentials includes one or more of:
• a self-portrait, a fingerprint or a voiceprint;
• receiving one or more wireless signals from a client device;
• detecting the client device based the one or more wireless signals;
• establishing a short-range communication channel with the detected client device;
• transmitting a first signal including the biometric credentials and a user public key to the client device;
• receiving a second signal including encoded biometric credentials, wherein the biometric credentials are encoded using the user public key;
• decoding the received second signal including the encoded biometric credentials using a private key;
• generating decoded biometric credentials;
• and
• presenting the decoded biometric credentials to the client device for entry into the event.
