Method and System for Credential Management

Abstract

A security system comprises an access control node broadcasting a beacon including a time stamp and user devices generating replies to the beacon that are based on credential information for the user of the user device and the time stamp. The system relies on the users' wireless-capable mobile computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, or wireless fobs. A credential management system proves a system for the authentication of users and then issues security tokens as credential information to the users' mobile computing devices. These tokens are presented wirelessly by the devices to the security system's access control nodes, for example, where the access control nodes then decide whether to grant or deny access.
