Claim 28:
29. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
providing, to a robotic surgical system, a first device key that is specific to a first surgical tool, wherein the first device key is configured to enable authentication of the first surgical tool;
storing, at an authentication server, a status list comprising identification data and status data for a plurality of surgical tools;
storing, at the authentication server, a tool use dataset comprising the identification data and location data associated with the plurality of surgical tools, the location data representative of locations at which the plurality of surgical tools have been used;
receiving tool connection data from the robotic surgical system, the tool connection data describing a first identity of the first surgical tool and a first location of the first surgical tool in response to the first surgical tool being connected to the robotic surgical system and authenticated by the robotic surgical system;
determining a result based on the tool connection data and the tool use dataset;
generating an updated status list based on the result; and
transmitting the updated status list to a plurality of different robotic surgical systems, wherein the plurality of different robotic surgical systems are configured to use the updated status list to authenticate surgical tools; and
providing information about the result to a remote system.
