Abstract
A component authentication and validation system requests a token server to provide tokens for a product line. The system receives, from the token server, the requested tokens. The system associates each token with a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the token. The system receives, from a production line server, a request to transmit a particular number of tokens to program the components associated with the product line. The system receives, from the production line server, a report file comprising a programmed token that is programmed into a component associated with the product line. The programmed token is used to authenticate the component. The system registers the token with the token server, such that inquiries about the token are tracked by the token server.
