Abstract

Methods and systems are provided that facilitate the exchange of keys between individuals in multiple locations. Assign a unique key identifier to each key group. The key identifier is encoded on a key fob attached to the set of keys. Pick up or surrender the key set at a key exchange and scan the key set to read the key identifier. The key identifier is forwarded to a key exchange server that tracks the location of the key. The key exchange server verifies that an individual is authorized to receive a set of keys and provides instructions to devices at the key exchange to enable access to the set of keys. The key exchange server coordinates the handover of sets of keys by updating the key locations associated with the key identifiers upon handover and providing instructions to devices at the key exchange for storing the sets of keys. out.
