Patent attributes
A network based hyperlocal authentication system and method is described. After establishing communications between a gateway and a remote network component, and after establishing communications between a wireless client device and the remote network component, the wireless client device requests an exclusive local key from the remote network component. The remote network component generates and transmits the exclusive local key to the gateway. The gateway then transmits the exclusive local key to the client device application with a gateway short range gateway transceiver. The wireless client device receives the exclusive local key from the gateway and then requests and receives a cryptographic material from the remote network component. The wireless client device communicates with the remote network component with the exclusive local key, received from the gateway, and the cryptographic material, received from the network component.
