| 20100146275 | AUTHENTICATING A DEVICE WITH A SERVER OVER A NETWORK - The authentication of a device with a server over a network includes authenticating, by the device, the server so as to establish a secure connection with the server. The device communicates identification information of the device to the server, wherein the identification information uniquely identifies the device to the server. The server determines the credibility of the device using the identification information communicated by the device. In a case where the server determines that the device is credible, the server creates a first authentication token for the device, stores the first authentication token, and transfers the first authentication token to the device using the secure connection, and the device stores the first authentication token. The server authenticates the device using the first authentication token. | 06-10-2010 |
