Abstract
A system can include a processor that can execute computer-readable instructions that include operations that include obtaining an authentic copy of the software of the remote computing device and sending a validation request comprising a random data string to the remote computing device. The operations can also include receiving a remote check value from the remote computing device, wherein the remote check value is generated by the remote computing device based on the random data string and the software on the remote computing device. Furthermore, the operations include computing a local check value based on the authentic copy of the software for the remote computing device and the random data string and determining whether the remote computing device has authentic software based on a comparison of the received remote check value and the local check value.
