Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for authenticating computing devices. An exemplary method includes associating a security key with an operating system of a first computing device, wherein the security key is generated from a serial number corresponding to the first computing device. A token corresponding to the security key is sent to a second computing device. The token is accessed by the second computing device to authenticate the first computing device. An authenticated session is established between the first computing device and the second computing device. Within the authenticated session, a connection is provided between the first computing device and the second computing device.
