Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing secure access to a locker of a locker system based on a token that includes token data and a message authentication code (MAC) to authenticate the token data. The token data includes at least the unique locker identifier for the locker. The MAC can be generated using a secret key. The secret key can be obtained based on a unique derivation key associated with a master key. The locker system can determine whether the token is valid based on the token data, the MAC, and the secret key. In response to a determination that the token is valid, the locker system can send a signal to unlock the locker.
