Claim 15:
16. A network based hyperlocal authentication method to secure communications between a wireless client device and a remote network component, the method comprising:
establishing a communication channel between a gateway and the remote network component, wherein the gateway receives authentication credentials from the remote network component;
providing the gateway with a gateway short-range transceiver;
establishing a second communication channel between the wireless client device and the remote network component with authentication credentials from the network component;
providing the wireless client device with a client device short-range transceiver;
requesting, by the wireless client device, an exclusive local key from the remote network component;
generating, by the remote network component, the exclusive local key for the wireless client device;
transmitting, by the remote network component, the exclusive local key to the gateway;
receiving, by the gateway, the exclusive local key from the remote network component;
transmitting, by the gateway, the exclusive local key to the wireless client device application with the gateway short-range wireless transmitter;
requesting, at the wireless client device, a cryptographic material from the remote network component;
receiving, at the wireless client device, the cryptographic material from the remote network component;
enabling the wireless client device to communicate with the remote network component using the exclusive local key received from the gateway and the cryptographic material received from the network component.
