Resilient Device Authentication System

A resilient device authentication system comprising: one or more verification authorities (VAs) including a memory loaded with a complete verification set that includes hardware part-specific data, and configured to create a limited verification set (LVS) therefrom; one or more provisioning entities (PEs) each connectable to at least one of the VAs, including a memory loaded with a LVS, and configured to select a subset of data therefrom so as to create an application limited verification set (ALVS); and one or more device management systems connectable to at least one of the PEs, including a memory loaded with an ALVS, and configured to manage device security-related applications through the performance of security-related functions on devices associated with the hardware part-specific data.
