Abstract
A method for a system includes broadcasting with a first transceiver of a transit terminal to a smart device, a first identifier, receiving with the first transceiver from the smart device, an ephemeral ID not permanently associated with a user of the smart device, providing with the first transceiver to the smart device, a second identifier and a unique data packet, receiving with the first transceiver from the smart device a token determined by an authentication server in response to the second identifier and the unique data packet and wherein the token comprises a payload portion, determining with a processor of the transit terminal whether the token is valid, and directing with the processor a peripheral device to perform a user-perceptible action for the user, authorizing the user to enter or exit a transit system associated with the transit terminal in response to determining the token to be valid.
