Technologies for using NFC or QR code to commission a device to the cloud

An access control system for commissioning an access control device, the access control system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, causes the access control system to:
• receive a public cryptographic key of a cryptographic key pair from a cryptography circuit manufacturer device associated with manufacture of a cryptography circuit of the access control device, wherein the cryptographic key pair includes the public and a corresponding private cryptographic key, and wherein at least the private cryptographic key is stored in the cryptography circuit of the access control device;
• without the access control device being powered up, create a device twin for the access control device within the access control system, generate commissioning data for in-field commissioning of the access control device in response to receipt of the public cryptographic key, and encrypt the commissioning data, wherein the commissioning data for the access control device is associated with a unique identifier located on the access control device;
• receive a request from a mobile device for the commissioning data in response to the mobile device scanning the unique identifier on the access control device;
• and
• transmit the commissioning data to the mobile device for transmittal to the access control device.
