1. A method for distributing micro-location-based information, comprising:
- locally generating and broadcasting an encrypted identifier at a wireless beacon;
receiving a request from an application executing on a user device proximal the wireless beacon, the request comprising the encrypted identifier and an application designator for the application;
authenticating the request based on the application designator;
resolving the encrypted identifier into a decrypted identifier for the wireless beacon; and
in response to request authentication, transmitting information associated with the decrypted identifier to the user device.
