20 Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to execute operations to cause the system to perform operations comprising:

receive a beacon from a first intermediate device via a first network, wherein the beacon was received by the first intermediate device from an endpoint device via a second network, the beacon comprising a hash value, the hash value being generated using an identity of the endpoint device and a time unit when the beacon was generated;

validate the hash value of the beacon using the identity of the endpoint device and the time unit when the beacon was generated;

forward the beacon to a server via a third network in response to the hash value of the beacon being valid; and

invalidate one or more hash values of the beacon that have time unit values whose difference from a current time is greater than a predetermined threshold value.
