Abstract

Communication, authentication, and/or validation may be required in various types of device interactions. For example, for some types of device functions, user or device authentication may be required to confirm that the function can and should be performed. Authentication information may be communicated and authentication and/or validation may be performed using LoRaWAN signaling. LoRaWAN signaling provides low power and long-range communication capabilities to efficiently and effectively perform authentication processes. In some arrangements, LoRaWAN signals may be generated by both a first device (e.g., a user device) and a second device (e.g., a function-performing device) and subsequently compared to determine whether they correspond. This correspondence may provide the requisite authentication or validation of the first device and/or an associated user.
