Abstract: A secure element of a mobile device receives a first authentication token, which may have an encrypted portion and a non-encrypted portion, from a network gateway device to which the mobile device is connected. The secure element determines whether the first authentication token is valid based on a sequence number included in the first authentication token. If the secure element determines that the first authentication token is valid, the secure element generates a second authentication token that indicates a result of an authentication operation performed by the secure element. The second authentication token is sent to the network gateway device. The secure element derives a pre-shared key using a key derivation function, where the pre-shared key is usable to establish a secure communication channel with the network gateway device.

Abstract: A method for reducing violence within crowded venues is provided. The method includes reading license plates of vehicles passing into entry ports of a parking area, and capturing facial images of persons seeking admission to the venue. A computer compares such license plates to a database of vehicle license plates associated with persons with past histories of violence. A computer also compares captured facial images to a database of facial data for persons with past violent histories. Upon detecting a match, the computer creates an alert presented to law enforcement officers to facilitate detention of such persons for investigation. Information recorded on entry tickets is scanned and saved together with the facial image of the ticket holder. If a violent act occurs, cameras within the venue capture facial images of participants. The computer matches such participants to stored identifying data to assist in the identification and apprehension of such persons.
