1. A method for operating an access control system, the method comprising:
- detecting by at least one lock at least one digital credential corresponding to at least one device;
determining by at least one processor the number of digital credentials required for the at least one lock;
determining by at least on database whether the detected at least one digital credential corresponds to at least one corresponding digital credential stored in a said database;
detecting by the at least one lock the determined status of at least one corresponding detected at least one digital certificate; and
when determined there is at least one corresponding at least one digital credential granting access to the at least one lock based on the determined status of the detected at least one digital credential.

6. An electronic access control system, comprising:
-
at least one device, the at least one device configured for access to at least one lock; a plurality of digital credentials corresponding to the at least one device, wherein the plurality of digital credentials is configured to be paired with a corresponding lock; one or more locks, wherein the one or more locks detects a plurality of digital credentials associated with the at least one of the plurality of devices, and wherein the one or more locks has a corresponding digital profile to determine the number of digital credentials required; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor communicates to at least one database to determine whether the plurality of digital credentials associated with the at least one device correspond to a plurality of digital credentials stored in said database. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
