Abstract

A remote computing device is provided including one or more processors, and a memory device including one or more computer-readable instructions. When executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the system to perform operations including receiving a validation request comprising a random data string from a secure computing device, in response to the validation request, generating a first check value based on the random data string and software installed on the remote computing device, and transmitting the first check value to the secure computing device. The secure computing device is configured to compare the first check value to a second check value that is generated using the random data string and an authentic copy of the software.
