A first processing sends a validation request, which includes a random number seed and a nonce to a second processing device. The first processing device generates a first set of random numbers using the random number seed according to an algorithm for random number generation, and maps the generated first set of random numbers to memory blocks that include a copy of software for the second processing device. A first hash is calculated from contents of the mapped memory blocks concatenated to the nonce. A second hash, calculated using information included in the validation request, the mapping model, the software for the second processing device, and the nonce is received. An action is automatically performed when the hashes do not match.
