摘要： An access control system and an access control method thereof are provided. The access control system comprises a handheld device, an access control server and a terminal recording device. The handheld device has a user identification. The access control server is configured to store a user identification set, connect to the handheld device within a first time interval, determine that the user identification is included in the user identification set, generate a one-time password (OTP) seed set, and transmit the OTP seed set to the handheld device. The terminal recording device connects to the handhold device within a second time interval, and performs a two-way identification certification with the handheld device according to the OTP seed set so that the handheld device performs a data access to the terminal recording device after achieving the two-way identification certification.

摘要： Generally described, the disclosed subject matter is directed to improved processes for securely accessing a meter. In accordance with one embodiment, a method for providing a mobile meter reader with an authorization that may be used to establish a secure session with a meter is implemented. In particular, the method includes issuing a request for authorization to access the meter from the mobile meter reader. If the mobile meter reader maintains sufficient rights, an authorization having an encoded digital signature is generated at a host computer system and provided to the mobile meter reader. Then the method formulates and transmits an authorization command to the meter having the encoded digital signature that was generated by the host computing system.
