Abstract:
1. A method of providing resilient authentication of managed devices, comprising: a. establishing one or more verification authorities (“VAs”) each having a processor and a VA memory; b. loading one or more VA memories with a complete verification set (“loaded CVS”) that includes hardware part-specific data associated with one or more managed devices; c. creating one or more limited verification sets (“LVSs”) from said loaded CVS through one-way algorithmic transformation of hardware part-specific data in said loaded CVS; d. establishing one or more provisioning entities (“PEs”) each connectable to at least one of said one or more VAs, and each having a processor and a PE memory; e. loading each PE memory with a LVS (“loaded LVS”); f. selecting a subset of data from said loaded LVS so as to create an application limited verification set (“ALVS”); and g. creating one or more replacement LVSs from said loaded CVS through one-way algorithmic transformation of hardware part-specific data in said loaded CVS.
