1. A authentication system comprising:
- a database;
an authentication server configured to;
register sensors and data requesters with the authentication server, wherein data from the sensors is obtained through the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags;
receive a request from a first sensor to store data in the database;
store the data in the database only in response to the authentication server authenticating the first sensor as one of the registered sensors;
receive a request from a first data requester for the stored data; and
provide requested data from the database to the first data requester only if the authentication server authenticates the first data requester as one of the registered data requesters.

Abstract
A system for authenticating data acquired by multiple sensors prior to storing the data in a database is described. The system also authenticates users requesting data access and intelligence agents that provide analyses of data stored in the database. As a result, any data or data analysis obtained from the system is traceable and reliable.

1. A authentication system comprising:
-
a database; an authentication server configured to; register sensors and data requesters with the authentication server, wherein data from the sensors is obtained through the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags; receive a request from a first sensor to store data in the database; store the data in the database only in response to the authentication server authenticating the first sensor as one of the registered sensors; receive a request from a first data requester for the stored data; and provide requested data from the database to the first data requester only if the authentication server authenticates the first data requester as one of the registered data requesters. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system for authenticating data provided by a network of multiple sensors and providing an authenticated presentation of the data, the system comprising:
-
a fixed gateway that stores routing information for routing data aggregated from the network of sensors to an authentication server, and further stores sensor information about which sensors are registered so that the fixed gateway is configured to authenticate a given sensor; and a mobile gateway being configured to aggregate data from the network of sensors, and wherein each of the mobile gateways includes a routing table for routing the aggregated data to the fixed gateway, wherein the authentication server configured to; authenticate the fixed gateway; receive the data from the fixed gateway; store the data in the database; and receive a request from a data requester; determining if the data requester is authenticated to receive data from the database; providing requested data from the database to the data requested only if the data requester is authenticated by the authentication server. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
registering sensors at a server as registered sensors; receiving data from a first sensor at the server; determining, by the server, if the first sensor is one of the registered sensors; storing the received data in a database only in response to the first sensor being authenticated by the server as a registered sensor; and denying the received data from the first sensor in response to the sensor not being authenticated by the server as a registered sensor. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
