Patent number: 11799671Abstract: Digital certificates are signed by a server's private key and installed at lock controllers that restrict access to physical resources. The server's public key is distributed to lock controllers and to wireless mobile devices operated by users who are given access to primary locks which secure access to physical resources, and secondary locks, which retain the primary locks within operable vicinity to the physical resources. Additionally, tertiary locks may secure access to internal components of the primary or secondary locks. When a wireless mobile device enters the vicinity of a lock controller, the digital certificate of the lock controller is used as the basis for encrypted communications between the wireless mobile device and the lock controller. Wireless mobile devices may be used to gather evidence of integrity of the locks after use. Lock controllers may be powered by energy harvesting devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: SERA4 LTD.Inventors: David Coode, Daniel Galeano, Jerod Klink, Raj Mody, Andrew Kuikman

Patent number: 11049341Abstract: Digital certificates are signed by a server's private key and installed at lock controllers that restrict access to physical resources. The server's public key is distributed to lock controllers and to mobile electronic devices operated by users who are given access to the physical resources. Lock-access data is digitally signed by the server's private key and provided to mobile electronic devices to facilitate access. The lock controller validates lock-access data and grants access conditionally based on time, version, and/or identity data provided within lock-access data. The use of certificates reduces the need to rely on a security scheme specific to the network. Lock controllers can also broadcast status notifications, so that updates and log data can be securely communicated with the server using mobile electronic devices as a proxy. The system is highly scalable, as each lock controller need not track the full scope of access permissions.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: SERA4 LTD.Inventors: Jerod Klink, Herb Little
