Abstract:
A master beacon device emits a data packet that is received and retransmitted by servant beacon devices in a wireless mesh network that enables the beacon devices to detect the received signal strength indicator (“RSSI”) of beacon devices in proximity. Each servant beacon device transmits survey data packets comprising the RSSIs and hardware identifiers of proximate beacon devices to the master beacon device, which constructs a first virtual map of the mesh network. At a later time, each servant beacon device transmits authentication data packets, which are retransmitted, each retransmitting beacon inserting an RSSI and hardware identifier of the beacon device from which the authentication data packet was received, until they reach the master beacon device, which constructs a second virtual map of the mesh network. The master beacon device compares the first virtual map to the second virtual map to determine if the network is secure.

Claim (Index 30):
A computer program product, comprising:\n a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program instructions embodied thereon that when executed by a computer cause the computer to secure a wireless mesh network of beacon devices, the computer readable instructions comprising:\n computer-readable program instructions to receive, from a plurality of servant beacon devices in a mesh network, survey data comprising, for each of the servant beacon devices, a beacon device identifier and path loss information of proximate servant beacon devices detected by each servant beacon device; \n computer-readable program instructions to transmit, to each of a plurality of servant beacon devices, enrollment data comprising beacon device identifiers and corresponding received signal strength indicator values of proximate beacon devices to servant beacon devices, wherein the enrollment data is based on the received survey data, wherein the enrollment data may be retransmitted by servant beacon devices within the mesh network to reach other recipient servant beacon devices, the enrollment data comprising a list of beacon devices in the mesh network identified by the beacon device identifiers and path loss information detected, for each servant beacon device, of beacon devices in proximity to the servant beacon device; \n computer-readable program instructions for receiving authentication data from a plurality of servant beacon devices, the authentication data comprising beacon device identifiers for servant beacon devices and received signal strength indicator values detected by servant beacon devices of proximate servant beacon devices; \n computer-readable program instructions for comparing the received survey data to the received authentication data to identify any differences between the received survey data and the received authentication data; and \n computer-readable program instructions for determining that the mesh network is secure based on identifying no differences between the received survey data and the received authentication data.
