Patent attributes
A method of implementing a network-enabled secure door lock, comprising determining, at a first component of the lock, a nonce; wirelessly transmitting the nonce to a second component of the door lock, the first component and second component selectively mechanically engagable with one another to prevent relative movement between the first component and second component to prevent opening of a door; receiving, at the first component, a first message; using a cryptographic key associated with the second component and the nonce to validate the first message; and as a result of determining that the message is valid, transmitting a second message indicating that the first component and second component have become mechanically engaged with one another.
