  • Publication number: 20260100081
    Abstract: Security systems and methods are provided. In one example, a method includes providing an encrypted command message to a computing device via a cloud network. The command message may include a timestamp, a validity duration, a use count, and a command. The method may further includes authenticating a user of the computing device and sending the command message from the computing device to a security device if the user is authenticated. In addition, the method includes determining whether the command message is authenticated and if the command message is authenticated, determining whether the timestamp, validity duration, and use count are valid. If the time stamp and validity duration are valid, the method also includes initiating at least one session key between the security device and the computing device. Moreover, the method includes executing the command based on successful completion of the at least one session key.
