Remote Authentication For Gaming Appalications
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting, periodically and regularly, an authentication request over a network to a gaming device for authenticating a gaming application resident on the gaming device, wherein the request identifies a configurable portion of the gaming application; and
receiving a result from the gaming device over the network in response to the request, wherein the result is compared against a known value and if a match occurs, the configurable portion is considered authenticated.

Abstract
Techniques for authenticating gaming applications are presented. Authentication requests are periodically and regularly sent by a requestor to a gaming device for purposes of authenticating configurable portions of a gaming application. The gaming device generates results which are transmitted back to the requestor. The requestor compares the results against known results to determine if the configurable portions are authenticated or not authenticated.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving, periodically and regularly, an authentication request over a network for authenticating a locally resident gaming application, wherein the request identifies a configurable portion of the gaming application to authenticate;
calculating a result in response to the configurable portion; and
transmitting the result to a remote requestor over the network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a gaming device adapted to process a gaming application and a result algorithm, wherein the result algorithm generates results in response to authentication requests which are periodically and regularly received from a requester service; and
the requestor service adapted to periodically issue the authentication requests to the gaming device over a network and further adapted to compare the results against known results for purposes of authenticating configurable portions of the gaming application. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A gaming device, comprising:
-
a gaming application;
a result algorithm; and
a requestor interface, wherein the requestor interface is adapted to communicate with a requestor over a network for purposes of periodically and regularly receiving authentication requests that are directed to configurable portions of the gaming application, the result algorithm is adapted to generate results in response to the authentication requests and the requestor interface is further adapted to transmit the results over the network to the requester. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
