Abstract
According to a first aspect, it is provided a method for requesting access to a physical space secured by a lock. The method is performed in a mobile device of a user and comprises the steps of: authenticating the mobile device with an authentication server, resulting in a token, being a data item, indicating one or more access groups to which the user belongs, wherein the token is cryptographically signed by the authentication server; storing the token in the mobile device; obtain a lock identifier of the lock; and transmitting an access request to an access control device, the access request comprising the token and the lock identifier.
Claims24
A method for requesting access to a physical space secured by a lock, the method being performed in a mobile device of a user and comprising:
- authenticating the mobile device with an authentication server, resulting in a token, being a data item, indicating one or more access groups to which the user belongs, wherein the token is cryptographically signed by the authentication server;
- storing the token in the mobile device;
- obtain a lock identifier of the lock;
- and
- transmitting an access request to an access control device, the access request comprising the token and the lock identifier.
A mobile device for requesting access to a physical space secured by a lock, the mobile device being associated with a user and comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile device to:
- authenticate the mobile device with an authentication server, resulting in a token being a data item indicating one or more access groups to which the user belongs, wherein the token is cryptographically signed by the authentication server;
- store the token in the mobile device;
- obtain a lock identifier of the lock;
- and
- transmit an access request to an access control device, the access request comprising the token and the lock identifier.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program stored thereon for requesting access to a physical space secured by a lock, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on a mobile device associated with a user causes the mobile device to:
- authenticate the mobile device with an authentication server, resulting in a token being a data item indicating one or more access groups to which the user belongs, wherein the token is cryptographically signed by the authentication server;
- store the token in the mobile device;
- obtain a lock identifier of the lock;
- and
- transmit an access request to an access control device, the access request comprising the token and the lock identifier.
