Abstract: A system (100) for storing and validating credentials comprising: access devices (104) wirelessly coupled to one another, wherein the access devices (104) comprises memories (122) such that the memories (122) are configured to store user credential information derived from a unique user identifier associated with each user registered to the access device; a server (108) coupled to the access devices (104), and configured to: store a mapping between base keys and unique serial numbers associated with Near Field Communication (NFC) tags (106); and provide each base key to each access device when each access device is registered with the system (100), wherein an access is granted to a NFC tag based on (i) an identification and fetching of the user credential information from a memory of an access device based on the unique user identifier and (ii) an authentication of a base key associated with the NFC tag.

Abstract: Disclose is a system (100) for over the air commissioning, the system (100) including: a plurality of devices (102) coupled to one another by way of a communication network (108), wherein a first device (102a) of the plurality of devices (102) is configured to generate and provide a request signal to a second device (102b) of the plurality of devices (102), a server (106) that is coupled to the plurality of devices (102), and configured to: receive the request signal from the second device (102b); register, based on the request signal, the first device (102a) as a non-commissioned device; and transmit, in response to the request signal, network credentials to the second device (102b), wherein the first device (102a) is commissioned over the air with the communication network (108) based on the network credentials by way of the second device (102b).
