Secure communication with a traffic control system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, an indication from a radio frequency identification (RFID) device that a mobile device is in a predetermined area, wherein the mobile device contains a public decryption key, and wherein the public decryption key is obtained from a regulatory entity;
sending, by the processor, a private key on a first frequency at a first time to the mobile device the private key verifying an identity of a communicator, wherein the communicator is maintained by the regulatory entity;
receiving, by the processor and in response to sending the private key on the first frequency, a communication request from the mobile device to communicate with the communicator;
sending, from the communicator, encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information to the mobile device;
generating, by the mobile device, a status report using the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information, wherein the mobile device decrypted the configuration information and the state information using the public decryption key;
presenting, by the mobile device, the status report to a user; and
disabling, in response to generation of the status report, text messaging functions of the mobile device for the duration of a traffic indicator associated with the state information.

Abstract
A processor may receive an indication form a radio frequency identification (RFID) device that a mobile device is in a predetermined area. The processor may send a private key on a first frequency at a first time to the mobile device. The processor may receive a communication request from the mobile device that may contain a public decryption key. The processor may send encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information to the mobile device. In some embodiments, an RFID device, may identify that a mobile device is within a predetermined area. The RFID device may send a tag to the mobile device. The RFID may send a notification to a communicator that the tag has been sent. The RFID may acquire the encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information form the communicator. The RFID device may push the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information to the mobile device.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
identifying, by a radio frequency identification (RFID) device, that a mobile device is within a predetermined area; sending, by a processor, a tag to the mobile device, wherein the tag includes a public decryption key and an identification number associated with the RFID device; sending, by the processor, a notification to a communicator that the tag has been sent; acquiring, by the processor, encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information from the communicator; pushing, by the processor, the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information to the mobile device; generating, by the mobile device, a status report using the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information, wherein the mobile device decrypted the configuration information and the state information using the public decryption key; presenting, by the mobile device, the status report to a user; and disabling, in response to generation of the status report, text messaging functions of the mobile device for the duration of a traffic indicator associated with the state information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to perform operations comprising; identifying, by a radio frequency identification (RFID) device, that a mobile device is within a predetermined area; sending, by the processor, a tag to the mobile device, wherein the tag includes a public decryption key and an identification number associated with the RFID device; sending, by the processor, a notification to a communicator that the tag has been sent; acquiring, by the processor, encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information from the communicator; pushing, by the processor, the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information to the mobile device; generating, by the mobile device, a status report using the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information, wherein the mobile device decrypted the configuration information and the state information using the public decryption key; presenting, by the mobile device, the status report to a user; and disabling, in response to generation of the status report, text messaging functions of the mobile device for the duration of a traffic indicator associated with the state information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
