A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11863980B1) outlines a process for authenticating and authorizing an Intended User to access a hard asset controlled by a point of interaction (POI). The process involves initiating an interaction between the POI and a mobile digital device provisioned with a specific program, sending a response from the POI to the mobile device requesting a credential, and receiving an access transaction request from the mobile device containing a transaction cryptogram for authentication. The process further includes validating the credential through either a network connection or offline authentication, ensuring specific criteria are met before authorizing access to the hard asset.

Additionally, the patent details different methods for initiating the interaction between the POI and the mobile device, such as tapping the device to the POI or waiting for a near field communication (NFC) field trigger. The process also involves generating a Genuine User ID (GUID) for the Intended User based on a set of Identity Elements, with rules determining the association of these elements with the GUID for access to the hard asset. Notably, the GUID does not include any Identity Element that can personally identify the Intended User in the offline Identity and Authorization Management Platform. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for secure authentication and authorization processes for accessing hard assets through a POI using mobile digital devices.
