You could use an encryption algorithm one-way on the "less secure" server, treating the result like you would a hash. Your "more secure" server could then decrypt a token from the "less secure" server to retrieve the password.

You're suggesting using a public key cryptosystem, where the intended recipient of the key knows half of the key and the entity storing the key knows the other? That would be a nice approach if the recipient of the key could handle the public key cryptography. Unfortunately, the recipient has no such facilities. It needs the credentials (sent via serial port, not Internet) in clear form.

Security by Obscurity may be the only workable approach (the machine that will legitimately communicate with the recipient must have all the information an impostor would need) but there's still a huge gap between approaches that can be undone in five minutes with a disassembler and those that would take much longer. My guess is that any approach that would be hard to break would take impractically long to implement, but perhaps there are some good methods I don't know about.
