1. A network based hyperlocal authentication system that secures communications between a wireless client device and a remote network component, the system comprising:
a gateway having a gateway short-range wireless transceiver, wherein the gateway receives authentication credentials from the remote network component;
a client device application, corresponding to the wireless client device having a client device short-range wireless transceiver, wherein the client device application receives authentication credentials from the network component;
the client device application requests a key from the remote network component;
the remote network component generates the key for the wireless client device and transmits the key to the gateway;
the gateway transmits the key to the client device application with the gateway short-range wireless transceiver;
the client device application, having the key, requests a cryptographic material from the remote network component, and the client device application receives the cryptographic material from the remote network component; and
the client device application communicates with the remote network component with the key received from the gateway and the cryptographic material received from the network component.
