Computer-based systems and computing devices configured to utilize one or more authentication servers for securing device commands transmissions and methods of use thereof

A method for securing device commands, the method comprising:

• generating, at a second electronic device, at least one first message authentication code (MAC) by applying a one-way hash function to a first plurality of hash inputs to produce a non-reusable hashing;
• wherein the first plurality of hash inputs comprise:
• i) an at least one device command;
• ii) an at least one command argument;
• and
• iii) at least one first counter value;
• wherein the at least one device command is a respective command to be performed by the second electronic device;
• generating, at the second electronic device, a command authorization request message having the non-reusable hashing, comprising:
• i) at least one first message authentication code (MAC),
• ii) at least one device command, and
• iii) at least one command argument;
• transmitting the command authorization request message to a first electronic device;
• receiving a response at the second electronic device from the first electronic device;
• wherein the response is generated according to a comparison of the at least one first MAC with an at least one second MAC;
• wherein the at least one second MAC is generated by applying the one-way hash function to a second plurality of hash inputs to reproduce the non-reusable hashing;
• wherein the second plurality of hash inputs comprise:
• i) the device command;
• ii) the at least one command argument;
• and
• iii) at least one second counter value;
• wherein the at least one first counter value is synchronized with the at least one second counter value;
• wherein the response comprises:
• i) at least one command approval message to the second electronic device when the at least one first MAC matches the at least one second MAC, or
• ii) at least one command denial message to the second electronic device when the at least one first MAC does not match the at least one second MAC;
• wherein the second electronic device is configured to i) automatically perform the at least one device command and ii) increment the at least one first counter value, upon receiving the at least one command approval message;
• and
• wherein the second electronic device is configured to i) reject the at least one device command and ii) increment the at least one first counter value, upon receiving the at least one command denial message;
• and
• wherein incrementing the at least one first counter value results in the non-reusable hashing of the command authorization request message being expired such that each MAC generated by the one-way hash function for every message is unique.

A system for securing device commands, the system comprising:

• an electronic device in communication with an authorization device, the electronic device configured to:
• generate a command authorization request message having non-reusable hashing, comprising:
• i) at least one first message authentication code (MAC),
• ii) at least one device command, and
• iii) at least one command argument;
• wherein the at least one device command is a respective command to be performed by the electronic device;
• wherein the at least one first MAC has been generated at the electronic device by applying a one-way hash function to a first plurality of hash inputs to produce the non-reusable hashing;
• wherein the first plurality of hash inputs comprise:
• i) the at least one device command;
• ii) the at least one command argument;
• and
• iii) at least one first counter value;
• transmit the command authorization request message to the authorization device;
• receive a response from the authorization device;
• wherein the response is generated according to a comparison of the at least one first MAC with an at least one second MAC;
• wherein the at least one second MAC is generated by applying the one-way hash function to a second plurality of hash inputs to reproduce the non-reusable hashing;
• wherein the second plurality of hash inputs comprise:
• i) the device command;
• ii) the at least one command argument;
• and

• automatically perform the at least one device command and ii) increment the at least one first counter value, upon receiving the at least one command approval message;
• and
• reject the at least one device command and ii) increment the at least one first counter value, upon receiving the at least one command denial message;
• and
• wherein incrementing the at least one first counter value results in the non-reusable hashing of the command authorization request message being expired such that each MAC generated by the one-way hash function for every message is unique.
