Patent ID: 7515901

Claim:
A method for authenticating operation of a transceiver with a control station within a wireless remote identification system, the method comprising: receiving transceiver configuration information including a network address and transceiver authentication credentials for associating with the transceiver, wherein receiving the authentication request includes receiving a first data value and a second data value from the control station; receiving an authentication request from a control station within the remote identification system; producing an authentication response for authenticating the transceiver by applying authentication processing to request information in the authentication request, the authentication processing being based on use of the transceiver authentication credentials associated with the transceiver, wherein producing the authentication response includes: utilizing the first data value to identify an instruction of multiple instructions associated with the transceiver; computing an authentication response value by applying the identified instruction to the second data value; and generating the authentication response to include the authentication response value; and transmitting the authentication response to the control station to allow the control station to determine if the transceiver is authorized to communicate within the remote identification system.
