Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1158466A1] The method involves generating a virtual key as a result of a defined event, transmitting the generated key to a person and triggering the process within the building when the authorized person is identified by the key. The key is allocated a defined code using an encoding method and a signature accompanies the code to enable the receiver of the key to identify himself to a third party as an authorized person.
