SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA SECURITY WITHIN POWER TOOLS

Systems and methods for data security with power tools are provided. The systems and methods include transmitting an initialization command, by a processor of a computing device, to a power tool configured with a secure element. The secure element is a digital key storage unit configured to generate a private key and a corresponding public key upon receiving the initialization command. The power tool transmits the generated public key to the computing device. The computing device tags the public key with a unique identification number associated with the power tool, and stores the corresponding public key within a data storage unit.
