1. A method of authenticating a robustly-identifiable system, the method comprising:
causing a processor of a mobile work machine to issue a challenge to a robustly-identifiable sensor module mounted relative to the mobile work machine;
receiving, by the processor of the mobile work machine, a response from the robustly-identifiable sensor module;
comparing, with the processor of the mobile work machine, the received response to an expected response to generate a match result; and
selectively initiating trusted operation of the mobile work machine based on the match result.
