Abstract
An encrypted security system and associated methods for controlling physical access. The system includes a security server configured to receive a request for authentication from a mobile device, the request comprising information identifying the mobile device and a physical access control device. The security server forwards an encryption message comprising a plurality of unique identifiers to the physical access control device via the mobile device. The physical access control device is configured to authenticate the plurality of unique identifiers in the encryption message and operate an access control mechanism.

15. A method of providing, by a networked server via a Web Portal, security services for managing physical access via commands transmitted wirelessly between a requesting mobile wireless device and a controller for actuating a physical access control device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the networked server via the Web Portal, an authentication request issued by the requesting mobile wireless device, the authentication request comprising an authentication information including; information identifying the requesting mobile wireless device, and information identifying the physical access control device; authenticating, by the networked server, the authentication request issued by the requesting mobile wireless device, and in response to the authenticating; generating, by the networked server, a response message; and forwarding to the requesting mobile wireless device, by the networked server, the response message so as to enable the controller of the physical access control device to authenticate a command message, from the requesting mobile wireless device, prior to completing an access control operation, on the physical access control device, corresponding to the command, wherein the requesting mobile wireless device is configured to communicate, during the receiving an authentication request, in one of multiple supported mobile wireless modes with the networked server including;
a first mode having a communications path including a local communication link with a local wireless router, and a second mode having a communications path that by-passes the local wireless router,wherein the response message comprises a first encoded portion and a second encoded portion, wherein a first encryption engine generates the first encoded portion based upon a command for the physical access control device, wherein a second encryption engine generates the second encoded portion based upon a unique series of a plurality of identifiers stored for the physical access control device, wherein the command message comprises the first encoded portion and the second encoded portion, and wherein the authenticating the command message comprises decoding the first encoded portion and the second encoded portion. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An encrypted security system for controlling physical access and including a security server, a local wireless router, and a physical access control device;
-
wherein the security server is configured with a server processor and a server non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for; receiving, by the security server via a Web Portal, an authentication request issued by a requesting mobile wireless device, the authentication request comprising an authentication information including; information identifying the requesting mobile wireless device, and information identifying the physical access control device; authenticating, by the security server, the authentication request, and in response to the authenticating; generating a response message; and wherein a controller for the physical access control device is configured with a controller processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for; receiving a command message from the requesting mobile wireless device, and authenticating the command message prior to completing the command for the physical access control device; wherein the requesting mobile wireless device is configured to communicate, during the receiving an authentication request, in one of multiple supported mobile wireless modes with the security server including;
a first mode having a communications path including a local communication link with the local wireless router, and a second mode having a communications path that by-passes the local wireless router,wherein the response message comprises a first encoded portion and a second encoded portion, wherein a first encryption engine generates the first encoded portion based upon a command for the physical access control device, wherein a second encryption engine generates the second encoded portion based upon a unique series of a plurality of identifiers stored for the physical access control device, wherein the command message comprises the first encoded portion and the second encoded portion, and wherein the authenticating the command message comprises decoding the first encoded portion and the second encoded portion. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
