Abstract:
Credentialing systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes receiving, by a credentialing system, an access code and a device location from a mobile device. The device location indicates the current geographic location of the mobile device. The method includes comparing the received access code to a stored site code. The method includes, when the received access code matches a stored site code, determining whether the device location corresponds to a site location of a target system associated with the site code, and determining whether the access code is received during a valid access period associated with the site code. The method includes, when the received access code matches the stored site code, the device location corresponds to the site location, and the access code is received during the valid access period, then granting access for the mobile device to the target system.
