Abstract
An authentication process for authenticating a battery to a cellular telephone includes the step of receiving a challenge from the cellular telephone at the battery over a single wire conductor. In response to the challenge, the seed values are retrieved from the memory and a response is generated based upon the challenge and the seed values. The response is transmitted back to the cellular telephone from the battery over the single conductor so that a comparison with a similar response generated by the cellular telephone may be made.
