What makes Gimbal’s beacon packet secure?

Gimbal beacons include a 128 bit AES encryption key and a continuous random ID scheme to enable beacon owners to have “digital ownership” of their assets and locations. Each beacon is provisioned at the factory with 2 unique cryptographic keys - one for the secure packet and the second one to secure configuration changes and firmware updates.

This encrypted packet can only be resolved by the Gimbal SDK which translates the beacon transmission into meaningful location information and presents it only to the beacon owner.

Gimbal rotates the secure packets that are transmitted by each beacon frequently, making it nearly impossible for an external party to uniquely identify and leverage the beacon without proper permissions.
