Method of distributing stand-alone locks

摘要

An authentication server for a wireless lock system comprising a wireless lock and a key device is configured to receive and authenticate a validation message. The validation message is created at the wireless lock from a secret key contained in the wireless lock. The authentication server receives the validation message from the key device, receives a certificate of ownership provided by the user, and authenticates the validation message and key device using copies each stored in a database of the authentication server. The authentication is configured to associate the user with the lock ID upon successfully authenticating the validation message, thereby enabling the authorizations server to provide the user with digital credentials to open the lock.

1. An authentication server for a wireless lock system comprising a wireless lock and a key device, the authentication server configured to:
receive a validation message from the key device, the validation message created at the wireless lock from a secret key contained in the wireless lock; receive a certificate of ownership provided by a user; authenticate the validation message and the certificate of ownership using copies of the certificate of ownership and the secret key stored in a database of the authentication server; and associate the user with the lock ID upon successfully authenticating the validation message, thereby enabling the authentication server to provide digital credentials to open the lock; wherein the authentication server is further configured to allow the user to identify a proxy responsible for submitting the validation message, thereby allowing the wireless lock to be associated with the user while the user is remote from the wireless lock.
