Systems and methods for authenticating surgical tools for use in a surgical operation by a robotic surgical system are described herein. The authentication systems and methods include status lists for surgical tools associated with surgical systems. The status lists indicate an allowed or disallowed status of each surgical tool. The status list is stored on a cloud-computing system and shared with various surgical systems at different geographic locations. Prior to performing a surgical operation or at other times, the surgical systems decrypt tool data received from a surgical tool to access identifying information and access a tool status from the status list based on the tool data. The surgical systems then proceed based on the status of the surgical tool in the status list.

Surgical robotic tool authorization system

One method for fleet management of robotic surgical systems includes receiving, by a management server from a robotic surgery system, a provisioning request; in response to receiving the provisioning request: generating an encryption key pair for the robotic surgery system, the encryption key pair comprising a private key and a public key, communicating the private key to the robotic surgery system, and communicating a set of secure certificates to the robotic surgery system, at least one of the secure certificates enabling secure communications between the robotic surgery system and the management server; receiving from the robotic surgery system, and using the at least one secure certificate enabling secure communications, a message indicating one or more software packages, each software package indicating a version of an installed software package on the robotic surgery system; communicating one or more software updates to the robotic surgery system based on the message; and registering, at the management server, the robotic surgery system.
