Systems and methods prevent fraudulent registration of devices associated with remuneration vehicles by bootstrapping the device to be registered with a bootstrap URL. The bootstrap URL may provide access to a registration server hosted by the vehicle provider. The vehicle provider may verify a single use of the bootstrap URL. Moreover, if access to the bootstrap URL is provided to the device, the vehicle provider may provide a server access communication to the device allowing the device and vehicle provider to set up a secure communication (even if communicating via an unsecure communication path). The secure communication may be used by the vehicle provider and the device to negotiate a symmetric communication key. At least the secure access communication and the symmetric communication key may operate based on one or more of an Elliptic Curve-, Diffie Hellman-, or Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH)-based secure connection scheme.
