    Abstract: It is provided a method for controlling access to a physical space. The method is performed in an access control device and comprises the steps of: communicating with an electronic key to obtain an identity of the electronic key; obtaining a plurality of delegations; determining, from one of the delegations, that there is an auxiliary condition, wherein the auxiliary condition is that access is approved for the electronic key by an auxiliary party, authenticated by a digital signature by the auxiliary party; and granting access to the physical space when the plurality of delegations comprises a sequence of delegations covering a delegation path from the access control device to the electronic key such that, in the sequence of delegations, the delegator of the first delegation is the access control device, the receiver of the last delegation is the electronic key, and the auxiliary condition is fulfilled.

    Abstract: It is presented a method for providing access to a lock for provision of a service. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a request for access to the lock, the request being based on the service consumer ordering a service requiring access to a physical space, the request comprising a first public key associated with a co-ordinator and a second public key associated with a service provider agent; presenting a first consumer query to the service consumer; receiving a first positive consumer response indicating that the service consumer allows the service provider agent to access the physical space; and delegating access to the lock to the co-ordinator, which comprises encrypting at least part of a delegation using the first public key, encrypting at least part of the delegation using the second public key, and electronically signing the delegation, enabling further delegation to the service provider agent.

    Abstract: It is provided a method for providing access to a physical space secured by a lock for provision of a service. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an approval signal from a service consumer device of the service consumer, the approval signal indicating that the service consumer allows a service provider agent of a service provider to open the lock; receiving, from the service provider device, a request to assign a service provider agent to open the lock; communicating with the service provider device to use a private key of a cryptographic key pair accessible to the service provider device, the private key being used to generate service agent access data that is specific for the service provider agent, to allow the service provider agent to open the lock; and transmitting the service agent access data to a service provider agent device associated with the service provider agent.
