Abstract:
Examples associated with printer firmware encryption are described. One example printer includes a base firmware module. The base firmware module controls a base function of the printer. The printer also includes a first encrypted firmware module that modifies a first function of the printer. The first encrypted module is inactive until decrypted. A firmware decryption module decrypts the first encrypted module upon receiving a first encryption key.

Claim (Index 14):
A printer, comprising:\n a receptacle for containers of a print material; a series of encrypted modules to be decrypted on a set schedule, where the encrypted modules authenticate containers of the print material, and where members of the series of encrypted modules are inactive until decrypted; a decryption module to receive decryption keys associated with the encrypted modules, to decrypt encrypted modules using respective decryption keys, and to control execution of the encrypted modules; a secure application specific integrated circuit to store the decryption keys and to release the decryption keys to the decryption module upon occurrence of predefined events associated with the set schedule.
