Abstract
Disclosed are methods, and devices for wireless key management for authentication. One method includes receiving a lock identifier from a locking device; determining that the lock identifier is associated with a user profile, wherein a user profile is authenticated and encrypted by a server using a lock key that is stored by the server and the locking device, and wherein the user profile comprises a user key; transmitting the user profile; decrypting the user profile using the lock key; transmitting a security code; generating an encrypted command comprising the security code and encrypted using the user key; transmitting the command; validating the command. Validating the command can include decrypting using the user key; determining whether the security code is valid; and authenticating using the user key; and initiating, in response to validating, an action of the locking device as specified by the command.
