Patent number: 10742630Abstract: Method and devices for making access decisions in a secure access network are provided. The access decisions are made by one or more portable credentials using data and algorithms stored on or received by two or more credentials. Since access decisions are made by the portable credential or credentials, non-networked hosts or local hosts can be employed that do not necessarily need to be connected to a central access controller or database, thereby reducing the cost of building and maintaining the secure access network.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Mark Anthony Caterino, Fredrik Carl Stefan Einberg, Philip Hoyer, Daniel Berg, Masha Leah Davis, Robert Wamsley, Tam Hulusi

Publication number: 20190173874Abstract: An authentication system is provided using one-time passwords (OTPs) for user authentication. An OTP key may be stored on a different device than the device on which the OTP is generated. In an embodiment, the system described herein enables a combined authentication system, including the two separate devices communicating over a non-contact interface, to provide advantageous security features compared to the use of a single device, such as a hardware OTP token. One device may be a personal security device and the other device may be a reader device coupled to a host device via which access is being controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2018Publication date: June 6, 2019Applicant: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Julian Eric Lovelock, Philip Hoyer

Publication number: 20190130676Abstract: A portable authentication system includes a security module, that may be a smart card, SIM (Subscriber Identity Module), USB controller with a secure chip, or similar module capable of storing one or more credentials, and an interface module such as a digital badge holder that is able to communicate with the security module, for instance by providing a smart card communication interface. The portable authentication system may be either a single integrated system or a dual system where the security module can be removed or disconnected from the interface system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Applicant: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Yves Gabriel Louis Audebert, Eric F. Le Saint, Jason Hart, Dominique Louis Joseph Fedronic

Publication number: 20190088049Abstract: An integrated security system which seamlessly assimilates with current generation logical security systems. The integrated security system incorporates a security controller having standard network interface capabilities including IEEE 802.x and takes advantage of the convenience and security offered by smart cards and related devices for both physical and logical security purposes. The invention is based on standard remote authentication dial-in service (RADIUS) protocols or TCP/IP using SSL, TLS, PCT or IPsec and stores a shared secret required by the secure communication protocols in a secure access module coupled to the security controller. The security controller is intended to be a networked client or embedded intelligent device controlled remotely by to an authentication server. In another embodiment of the invention one or more life cycle management transactions are performed with the secure access module.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicant: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Dominique Louis Joseph Fedronic, Wu Wen

Patent number: 10178078Abstract: A secure and transparent digital credential sharing arrangement which utilizes one or more cryptographic levels of indirection to obfuscate a sharing entity's credentials from those entities authorized to share the credentials. A security policy table is provided which allows the sharing entity to selectively authorize or revoke digital credential sharing among a plurality of entities. Various embodiments of the invention provide for secure storage and retrieval of digital credentials from security tokens such as smart cards. The secure sharing arrangement may be implemented in hierarchical or non-hierarchical embodiments as desired.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventors: John Jules Alexander Boyer, Eric F. Le Saint

Patent number: 10127377Abstract: Managing validity status of at least one associated credential includes providing a credential manager that selectively validates associated credentials for at least one device, the device invalidating a corresponding associated credential, and the device requesting that the credential manager validate the corresponding associated credential after invalidating the associated credential. The associated credential may be invalidated based on an external event, such as a user invalidating the associated credential from a UI of the device, a user improperly entering a pin value, a user indicating that a corresponding device is lost, the device entering sleep mode, the device locking a user interface thereof, the device shutting down, and a particular time of day. The at least one associated credential may be provided on an integrated circuit card (ICC) that may be part of a mobile phone and/or a smart card.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventor: Eric F.

Patent number: 10105981Abstract: In a transfer printing method using a transfer layer on a carrier layer, an image is printed over a transfer section of the transfer layer using a thermal print head and a print ribbon. At least one non-transfer portion of the transfer section is heated using the thermal print head without bonding the at least one non-transfer portion of the transfer section to the print ribbon. The at least one non-transfer portions of the transfer section are transferred from the carrier layer to an adhesive panel of the print ribbon using the thermal print head. Imaged transfer portions of the transfer section remain adhered to the carrier layer. The imaged transfer portions of the transfer section are then transferred from the carrier layer to a substrate using a transfer device.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Matthew Broberg, Gary Countryman, Jr.

Patent number: 10042990Abstract: Atomically modifying a personal security device includes presenting the personal security device to a reader/writer coupled to an access module, the access module determining if the personal security device includes a factory security mechanism, and, if the personal security device includes a factory security mechanism, using the reader/writer and the access module to replace the factory security mechanism with another security mechanism. The access module may authenticate the personal security device in connection with replacing the factory security mechanism. Authenticating the personal security device may grant access to a user through a door controlled by the access module. Replacing the factory security mechanism may include replacing an application on the personal security device. An ISO/IEC 7816-13 application management request command may be used to replace the application.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Kapil Sachdeva, Philip Hoyer, Eric F.
