Abstract
A system addresses a security vulnerability in sending commands to a vehicle tracking device via SMS text messaging. The system provides a single-use credential value for authenticating the SMS communication link before it can be used to command the vehicle tracking device. The single-use credential value, also referred to herein as a One-Time Personal Identification Number (OTPIN), is preferably time-based so that it can be used only once.
