1. A method of operating a seamless physical access control system, the method comprising:
transferring communication session information using an out-of-band (OOB) communication channel of a smart ultra-wide band (UWB) capable device;
establishing a secure OOB communication channel between the smart UWB capable device and a reader device using the communication session information;
registering, by a UWB enabled application of the smart UWB capable device, service-profile information for the UWB enabled application with a host processor of the reader device, wherein the service-profile information indicates the UWB enabled application needs secure ranging;
establishing a secure UWB communication channel between the smart UWB capable device and the reader device; and
transferring ranging information from a secure component of the smart UWB capable device to the reader device via the secure UWB communication channel.
