1. An anti-cloning system, comprising:
a first device configured for a connection to a first embedded device having a first unique identity value; and
a controller coupled to the first device, the controller having:
a controller memory configured to store a public verification key, and
a controller processor coupled to the controller memory and configured to:
verify the first unique identity value using the public verification key,
add the first unique identity value to an operating list of embedded device unique identity values based on 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 first device for a threshold amount of time when the first device is unable to connect with a server to verify the first unique identity value, and
enable the first device to use the first embedded device based on:
the first unique identity value being verified, and
the first unique identity value being added to the operating list.
