You could use the RSA mathematical model of encryption in which you
choose two large prime numbers.  Encrypt the number and send it out...
When they call in, you run that number back through and generate the
actual release code.  This method is used to encrypt most web sites and
the military has been using similar processes since WWII.

If your would like, I can send the formulas your way (along with
explanantions)... They are not very hard to use.

Sounds like a one way hash.
