Abstract

La présente invention concerne de manière générale un système de cadenas modulaire. En utilisant de nouvelles conceptions et une technologie de réseau, les présents systèmes, procédés et appareils peuvent fournir la sécurité d'un système de cadenas, sans l'utilisation d'une clé physique. Par exemple, dans certains modes de réalisation, les présents systèmes, procédés et appareils peuvent faciliter le verrouillage et le déverrouillage d'un cadenas physique à l'aide d'une construction numérique et d'un système de chiffrement.
