METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING ACCESS TO SERVICES

摘要

Permission (211,215) to access services (240) are delegated (214) over a personal area network (PAN) (250) while physical presence exists between the delegator (226) and the delegatee (228). A list of participants (210) physically present at a meeting may be generated automatically by collecting (213) their identity and key information (209), prior to delegating (214) the permission (211). The permission (211) is represented using a digital signature (209). Pregenerated (212, 270) values representing at least a portion of the data required to create the digital signature (209) may be created on a computer (201, 208D). Data representing credential information may be received (105) from a permitted delegatee (228) via a credential transmission mechanism over a second network (280). Each permitted delegatee (228, 110, 111) may be provided access to the services over a second network that is different from the PAN (250). The device (226), used to delegate the permission (210) may include a GPS for location determination of the delegation device (226) at delegation time, which may be used to control access (106) to the service or monitor delegation (210) information.
