Claim 7:
8. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
a plurality of robotic arms to receive surgical tools;
a communication device communicatively coupled to the plurality of robotic arms, the communication device to communicate with a surgical tool when the surgical tool is connected to one of the plurality of robotic arms;
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
prior to coupling the surgical tool to the one of the plurality of robotic arms, receive, from a remote computing system, a first device key that is specific to the surgical tool:
store the first device key;
receive, via the communication device and from the surgical tool after the surgical tool is coupled to the robotic surgical system, an authentication message encrypted with a second device key;
authenticate the surgical tool based on decrypting the authentication message with the first device key;
receive, via the communication device and from the surgical tool, tool data comprising an identifier of the surgical tool;
determine a status result based on the identifier and a status list, the status list comprising identifiers and use locations for a plurality of surgical tools;
perform an action based on the status result; and
provide information about the status result to the remote computing system.
