Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for authenticating equipment and software in a distributed gaming environment through the use of embedded, digital keys and digital certificates in a private key infrastructure (PKI) is disclosed. By issuing a key from a trusted root server, authentication is performed in a serial manner throughout the operational chain of hardware and/or software modules that collectively serve to support the gaming environment. Beginning with the root certificate authority server, each module in the operational chain authenticates itself to another module that relies on that module's authenticity. By authenticating the chain of modules in a serial manner from beginning to end, security of the gaming environment is ensured.
