Attesting Authenticity of Infrastructure Modules

A system comprising:

• a calibration device that includes authentication algorithm configuration information and an authentication token;
• and
• a user device that includes an authentication application that runs on the user device and is used for authenticating a target device, wherein the user device:
• receives from the calibration device authentication algorithm configuration information and the authentication token;
• supplies to the target device an authentication request that includes the authentication token;
• receives an authentication response from the target device;
• and
• determines whether the target device is authenticated by analyzing the authentication response with the authentication application based on the authentication algorithm configuration information.

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:

• receiving authentication algorithm configuration information and an authentication token;
• generating and supplying to a target device to be authenticated an authentication request that includes the authentication token;
• receiving an authentication response from the target device;
• and
• determining whether the target device is authenticated by analyzing the authentication response with the authentication application based on the authentication algorithm configuration information.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one interface to enable connectivity to other devices;
• a processor that executes an authentication application to:
• receive from a calibration device authentication algorithm configuration information and an authentication token;
• generate for supply to a target device to be authenticated, an authentication request that includes the authentication token;
• and
• analyze an authentication response received from the target device to determine whether the target device is authenticated based on the authentication algorithm configuration information.
