Abstract

According to a first aspect, it is provided a method for requesting access to a physical space secured by a lock. The method is performed in a mobile device of a user and comprises the steps of: authenticating the mobile device with an authentication server, resulting in a token, being a data item, indicating one or more access groups to which the user belongs, wherein the token is cryptographically signed by the authentication server; storing the token in the mobile device; obtain a lock identifier of the lock; and transmitting an access request to an access control device, the access request comprising the token and the lock identifier.
