| 20080214312 | Security System For Authenticating Gaming Chips - A system for authenticating RFID-capable gaming chips in a casino. The system includes at least one security server, at least one secure network, a casino management system and a plurality of magnetic couplers distributed within the casino. The gaming chips are adapted to provide a response to a challenge issued by the magnetic couplers when the chips are located in the vicinity of the magnetic couplers. The chip is authenticated when the response matches a computed response by the server. Preferably, the authentication information is loaded into the chip prior to the chip being used in the casino. The response preferably takes the form of a one time password, so that when the password list is depleted within the chip, the chip must be re-commissioned. | 09-04-2008 |
