Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for proximity-based logical access. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, by a mobile electronic device, a request from a server system to approve a session for a logical resource accessed by a second electronic device. In response to receiving the request, the mobile electronic device, initiates communication over a wireless communication link using a radio of the mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device receives data from the second electronic device over the wireless communication link, the received data from the second electronic device indicating a session identifier. After receiving the data from the second electronic device, the mobile electronic device provides a response to the server system that indicates approval of the session and indicates the session identifier.
