  • Secure short-distance-based communication and validation system for zone-based validation
    Patent number: 10074222
    Abstract: A secure short-distance-based communication and validation system validates users in a validation area. The system may include multiple zones in the validation area and beacons in each zone. A run-time mobile device identifier and keys that may be location-specific, device-specific and time-specific are generated and utilized for secure communication between mobile devices and a zone computer in a zone. The validation area may be in a vehicle, and validation may include deducting a fare.
    Type: Grant

  • Secure short-distance-based communication and enforcement system
    Patent number: 9922294
    Abstract: A secure short-distance-based communication and enforcement system validates users in a validation and enforcement area and can check if users in the validation and enforcement area have been validated. Run-time IDs and keys that may be location-specific and device-specific may be generated and utilized for secure communication between mobile devices and zone computers and enforcement computers that execute validation and inspection.

  • Restricted area access control system
    Patent number: 9589402
    Abstract: An access control system controls access to a restricted area. A mobile device exchanges messages with a backend server to validate a user and to control an actuator for a physical barrier responsive to validation. Beacon-based unique identifiers are calculated at validation time for the current location to facilitate the validation.
