Abstract:
Examples associated with printer authentication are described. One example print container includes a space for a supply of print material and an interface for delivering the print material to a printer to which the print container is connected. An authentication module provides an authentication signal to a decrypted module embedded in firmware of the printer. The decrypted firmware module is kept in an encrypted state until decrypted by a decryption module embedded in the firmware of the printer. The decrypted module is decrypted after the decryption module receives a decryption key after release of the printer.

Claim (Index 4):
A method, comprising:\n embedding in the firmware of printer, a set of encrypted modules that are decrypted and activated upon receiving members of a set of decryption keys that correspond to members of the set of encrypted modules; embedding in a first print container, a first authentication module that provides a first authentication signal to the printer, where the first authentication signal controls a first encrypted module to accept the first print container as an approved print container; and embedding in a second print container, a second authentication module that provides a second authentication signal to the printer, where the second authentication signal controls a second encrypted module to accept the second print container as an approved print container, and where the second authentication signal does not control the first encrypted module to accept the second print container as an approved print container.
