International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

713170

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for verifying the authenticity of an electronic device by a security server comprising a processor and a memory. The method, for example, may include, but is not limited to, receiving, from the electronic device, a unique identifier associated with the electronic device, determining, by the processor, a public key corresponding to the unique identifier, generating, by the processor, a message, encrypting, by the processor, the message with the determined public key, transmitting, to the electronic device, the encrypted message; receiving, from the electronic device, a response message, comparing the response message to the generated message, and authorizing the electronic device based upon the comparison.
