1. A method of operating a seamless physical access control system, the method comprising:
establishing a secure out-of-band (OOB) communication channel between a smart ultra-wide band (UWB) capable device and a reader device;
storing service profile information of multiple UWB enabled applications of the smart UWB capable device;
registering the service profile information with a host process of the reader device using the secure OOB communication channel;
establishing a secure UWB communication channel between the smart UWB capable device and the reader device and transferring ranging information to the reader device for a first UWB enabled application using the secure UWB communication channel when the registered service-profile information indicates the first UWB enabled application uses secure ranging; and
transferring ranging information for a second UWB enabled application to the reader device using an unsecured communication channel when the registered service-profile information indicates the second UWB enabled application uses unsecured ranging.
