Claim 18:
19. A method of verifying an embedded device, comprising:
determining, by a processor on or within a controller, that the embedded device has been connected to a device, the embedded device having a unique identity value;
verifying, by the processor, a digital signature on the unique identity value of the embedded device;
adding, by the processor, the unique identity value to an operating list of unique identity values in response to a number of unique identity values included in the operating list being less than a threshold number, the operating list being associated with one or more respective embedded devices that are temporarily allowed to be used with the device for a threshold amount of time when the first device is unable to connect with a server to verify the unique identity value;
determining, by the processor, whether the unique identity value of the embedded device is included in a consumed devices list stored on the server based on a connection status between the controller and the server; and
enabling, by the processor, the device to use the embedded device in response to:
the digital signature on the unique identity value being verified,
the unique identity value being added to the operating list, and
the unique identity value not being included in the consumed devices list.
