Abstract
In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a system for digital authentication, the system including a server and a device. The device includes a first processor and a second processor separate and distinct from the first processor and dedicated solely to security functionality. The second processor is programmed to generate a public key and a private key, and to use the private key and to-be-signed signature data to generate digital signatures, including a first digital signature. The device transmits the public key and the first digital signature to the server. The server stores the public key to uniquely identify the device or a user of the device in subsequent communications between the server and device.

A system for digital authentication comprising:
- a server;
- a device comprising:
- a first processor;
- and
- a second processor separate and distinct from the first processor and dedicated solely to security functionality, the second processor programmed to:
- generate a public key and a private key;
- and
- use the private key and to-be-signed signature data to generate digital signatures, including a first digital signature;
- and
- wherein the device transmits the public key and the first digital signature to the server;
- wherein the server stores the public key to uniquely identify the device or a user of the device in subsequent communications between the server and device.

A method of providing digital authentication comprising:
- providing a device comprising a first processor and a second processor separate and distinct from the first processor, the second processor configured to provide security functionality;
- generating, by the second processor of the device, a public key and a private key;
- generating, using the private key and to-be-signed signature data, digital signatures, the digital signatures including a first digital signature;
- transmitting, by the device, the public key and the first digital signature to a server;
- and
- storing, by the server, the public key to uniquely identify the device or a user of the device in subsequent communications between the server and device.
An electronic device providing digital authentication, the device comprising:
- a first processor;
- and
- a second processor separate and distinct from the first processor and dedicated solely to security functionality, the second processor programmed to:
- generate a public key and a private key;
- use the private key and to-be-signed signature data to generate digital signatures, including a first digital signature;
- wherein the device transmits the public key and the first digital signature to the server to enable the server to store the public key to uniquely identify the device or a user of the device in subsequent communications between the server and device.
