Abstract
A system and method for preventing unauthorized use of a remotely operated system, by using a sophisticated bi-directional verification schemes. The bi-directional verification schemes are based on random challenge and response between a mobile station and a cellular network. The cellular network discriminates between "pirate" mobile stations and mobile stations authorized to use the cellular network. The security afforded by bi-directional verification is applied to a system and method for use in conjunction with remotely operated systems, including one or more pieces of application equipment or a home automation system.
