Abstract: The system and method include a wireless client device, a cloud component, a gateway component, a geofence, and a proof of geofence (PoG) protocol. The PoG protocol continuously generating a PoG contract when the authenticated wireless client device is within the geofence. The PoG contract includes generating, by the gateway component, a PoG certificate that includes a mobile device public key, and a hash of a previous PoG contract. Also, the PoG contract requires the wireless client device to separately generate the PoG certificate within a time period with one or more mobile device sensors that includes a gateway component public key and the hash of the previous PoG contract. Additionally, the PoG contract records one or more signatures when the wireless client device generates the PoG certificate. A PoG ledger is then updated with each PoG contract.

Abstract: A network based hyperlocal authentication system and method is described. A wireless client device requests a key from a remote network component. The remote network component generates and transmits the key to the gateway. The gateway then transmits the key to the client device application with a gateway short-range transceiver. The wireless client device receives the key from the gateway and then requests and receives a cryptographic material from the remote network component. The wireless client device communicates with the remote network component with the key, received from the gateway, and the cryptographic material, received from the network component.

Abstract: A network based hyperlocal authentication system and method is described. After establishing communications between a gateway and a remote network component, and after establishing communications between a wireless client device and the remote network component, the wireless client device requests an exclusive local key from the remote network component. The remote network component generates and transmits the exclusive local key to the gateway. The gateway then transmits the exclusive local key to the client device application with a gateway short range gateway transceiver. The wireless client device receives the exclusive local key from the gateway and then requests and receives a cryptographic material from the remote network component. The wireless client device communicates with the remote network component with the exclusive local key, received from the gateway, and the cryptographic material, received from the network component.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a vehicle cloud service are disclosed. The system utilizes a cloud management module that transmits vehicle access invitations to end users according to an authentication performed by a third-party cloud service. The third-party cloud service authenticates end users requesting vehicle access through an identifying message transmitted by the end user's wireless mobile client device. The identifying message includes identifying information, such as a user profile having a plurality of user preferences and at least one user credential indicating the end user has a valid driving license. A synchronization module synchronizes directory services for one or more cloud services including the vehicle cloud service.

Abstract: A Network Based Hyperlocal Authentication (NBHA) system and method for anonymous contact tracing is described. The NBHA system and method operates as a background process, which is passwordless and continuously authenticates and performs cryptographic operations to secure communications between a wireless client device and a remote network component. A gateway includes a short-range wireless transmitter that transmits authentication credentials to the wireless client device having a short-range wireless receiver. The wireless client device uses the authentication credentials to authenticate to the remote network component. The network component then generates an exclusive local key for the wireless client device that is transmitted by the gateway. The client device application then requests cryptographic material from the remote network component. The client device application encrypts and decrypts communications to the network component with the cryptographic material and the exclusive local key.
