1. A method of controlling physical access to a secure asset, comprising:
- storing credential information at a non-networked, stand-alone reader of an access control system associated with a physical access point to the secure asset, the stand-alone reader unconnected from a remote privilege server of the access control system;
communicating credential information, via the stand-alone reader, such that;
(i) the stand-alone reader transmits to a mobile device at least some credential information stored on the stand-alone reader; and
(ii) the stand-alone reader receives from the mobile device at least some credential information stored on the mobile device that has been updated by the privilege server; and
based on the communication of credential information, executing, at the stand-alone reader, an access control decision corresponding to the mobile device.

Abstract
Method and devices for making access decisions in a secure access network are provided. The access decisions are made by a portable credential using data and algorithms stored on the credential. Since access decisions are made by the portable credential non-networked hosts or local hosts can be employed that do not necessarily need to be connected to a central access controller or database thereby reducing the cost of building and maintaining the secure access network.

10. A system of controlling physical access to a secure asset, comprising:
a non-networked, stand-alone reader that is configured to store credential information, wherein the reader is associated with an access control system associated with a physical access point to the secure asset, the reader unconnected from a remote privilege server of the access control system, and wherein the reader is configured to perform operations comprising; communicating credential information, such that; (i) the reader transmits to a mobile device at least some of the credential information stored in the reader; and (ii) the reader receives from the mobile device at least some credential information stored in the mobile device that has been updated by the privilege server; and based on the communication of credential information, executing, at the reader, an access control decision corresponding to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A system of controlling physical access to a secure asset, comprising:
-
a mobile device that is configured to store credential information; a privilege server of an access control system associated with a physical access point to the secure asset, the privilege server communicably coupled to the mobile device and configured to update the credential information stored in the mobile device; and a non-networked, stand-alone reader associated with the access control system and configured to store credential information, wherein the reader is unconnected from the privilege server, and wherein the reader is configured to perform operations comprising; communicating credential information, such that; (i) the reader transmits to the mobile device at least some of the credential information stored in the reader; and (ii) the reader receives from the mobile device at least some credential information stored in the mobile device that has been updated by the privilege server; and based on the communication of credential information, executing, at the reader, an access control decision corresponding to the mobile device.
