Abstract
A system includes a gateway and a verification server. The gateway is configured to receive a first message from a client over a network; send a request to a verification server to generate a first credential based on the first message; and route the first message toward a remote device. The verification server is configured to receive the request from the gateway; generate the first credential in response to the request; store the first credential; receive a second message from the remote device, the message requesting the verification server to validate a second credential; determine whether the second credential is valid based on the first credential; and send a notification to the remote device indicating whether the second credential is valid.
