  • Patent number: 9258281
    Abstract: A management site (10) generates an encrypted message by a public-key symmetrical encryption algorithm, the algorithm and the key being selected by the management site among a memorized list. The message (DKE), which includes an identifier of the encryption algorithm and key used, is transmitted to a portable device (16), which stores it. For the use, the message is transmitted to a secured module (20) that decrypts it, checks its compliance with an internal reference, and generates a digital accreditation controlling the unlocking of a lock device (18). The decryption is operated with the algorithm and the key recognized based on the identifiers of the message, selected among a list memorized by the secured module.

  • Patent number: 8793784
    Abstract: The method includes the steps of: a) generating by an application software (SWA) a message forming a key (DKE) comprising an encrypted data field containing a time-stamping or sequencing time marker; b) transferring the message to a portable communication device (CD), held by a user; c) transmitting the message, by short-range transmission, from the communication device to a reading interface (ERED) coupled to a lock device (LOCK); d) analyzing the message by decrypting the data field and checking the consistency of the time marker with an inner clock of the interface or with a sequence number memorized in the interface; and e) in case of compliant message, sending from the interface to the lock device a digital accreditation (OPEN) stored in memory in the interface and to operate the lock device unlocking upon recognizing the compliance of said digital accreditation.

  • Patent number: 8712365
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system that makes use of a mobile telephone (22) to which a user authorized to open a lock (28) has access. According to the invention, a remote management site (10) includes a database (12) of authorized users identified by the mobile telephone number thereof, as well as a data credential generator (14). The credentials are crypto acoustic credentials (CAC) in the form of single-use audio signals and are generated from digital data credentials (DDC) that are normally employed by the lock when the latter is used with a badge or a card. The system includes means (16, 18, 20) for securely transmitting the acoustic credentials to the user's telephone. The lock (22) picks up the acoustic credentials reproduced by the telephone pre-positioned near the lock and extracts the digital data credentials from the picked-up crypto acoustic credentials and, subsequently, the lock applies the thus-extracted digital data credentials to the analysis, authentication and control means of the lock.

  • Patent number: 8620268
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system implementing a mobile telephone (20) to which a master user authorized to program a lock (22) has access. A remote management site (10) includes a database (12) of locks and authorized users, having, for each lock, a list of authorized users with corresponding access rights, as well as an accreditation data generator (14). The accreditations are encrypted acoustic accreditations in the form of single-use audio signals, suitable for programming locks indexed in the database by the access rights indexed in the database and/or by additional data. The system includes a means for securely transmitting the encrypted acoustic accreditations from the management site to the mobile telephone of the master user.
