Automated manufacturing system with adapter security mechanism and method of manufacture thereof

A method of operation of a device programming system comprising:

• detecting a socket adapter having an adapter identifier and an adapter cryptographic chip;
• receiving a primary key hash in a programming cryptographic chip;
• decrypting the primary key hash by the programming cryptographic chip for initializing the primary key;
• updating an authentication token based on the primary key and the adapter identifier for authenticating the socket adapter on the device programming system;
• and
• programming programmable devices in the socket adapter based on the authentication token.
