Providing authentication of control instructions from a control device to a remotely-controllable physical interaction device using a remote control authentication token

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable to implement:

• receiving a request from a control device for a transmission of a remote control authentication token;
• responsive to the request from the control device for the remote control authentication token, verifying an identity of the control device, wherein
• the program instructions computer-executable to implement verifying the identity of the control device further comprise
• program instructions computer-executable to implement a pairing of a requesting identity credential of the control device and a requesting network context of the control device to expected values of pairings of requesting identity credentials and requesting network contexts;
• responsive to verifying the identity of the control device, transmitting the remote control authentication token, wherein
• the transmitting of the remote control authentication token indicates permission for the control device to send one or more control instructions to a remotely-controllable physical interaction device.

A system for providing authentication of one or more control instructions from a control device to a remotely-controllable physical interaction device using a remote control authentication token, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory storage medium storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the processor to implement:
• receiving a request from a control device for a transmission of a remote control authentication token,
• responsive to the request from the control device for the remote control authentication token, verifying an identity of the control device, wherein
• the program instructions executable by the processor to implement verifying the identity of the control device further comprise
• program instructions executable by the processor to implement comparing a pairing of a requesting identity credential of the control device and a requesting network context of the control device to expected values of pairings of requesting identity credentials and requesting network contexts,
• responsive to verifying the identity of the control device, transmitting the remote control authentication token, wherein
• the transmitting of the remote control authentication token indicates permission for the control device to send one or more control instructions to a remotely-controllable physical interaction device.
