    摘要: A ribbon core that is used with a consumable ribbon in a card processing system. The ribbon core can be a take-up core that takes-up used ribbon that has been used in a processing operation in the card processing system, or a supply core around which unused ribbon is wound and that is to be used in a processing operation in the card processing system. The ribbon core is configured to accommodate uneven material on the consumable ribbon.

    摘要: A card/carrier combination sorter system is described that is configured for use with a card/carrier combination production system. The sorter system includes an input that is in communication with an output of the production system so as to receive a plurality of card/carrier combinations one-by-one from the production system. The sorter system is configured to sort the plurality of card/carrier combinations into one or more bins of the sorter system. In some embodiments, a card/carrier combination is not diverted and is instead output through an output of the sorter system to an inserter system for insertion into an envelope and subsequent mailing.

    摘要: Methods and systems for measuring true positive and false positive matching rates for a given biometric engine within an operational environment are provided. In some examples, a test, or candidate, biometric engine may be executed, or utilized, in parallel with a production biometric engine, on biometric data that is available during live operation of the production biometric engine. Performance of a biometric engine can be assessed, as to both true positive and false positive matching. Additionally, where multiple biometric engines are assessed concurrently, a candidate biometric engine may be compared to performance of the production biometric engine to determine whether a change or upgrade is advisable.

    摘要: Systems and methods for managing cryptographic tokens within a hardware security module are disclosed. A parent cryptographic token contains a plurality of parent cryptographic objects, and a child cryptographic token contains a plurality of child cryptographic objects. The child cryptographic token is associated with the parent cryptographic token. A session established with the child token provides access to at least some of the plurality of child cryptographic objects and at least some the plurality of parent cryptographic objects.

    摘要: A cryptographic object management system is provided that includes physically separated first and second object management sites. The first and second object management sites each respectively include HSMs, a HSM server connected to each of the HSMs, and a persistent layer connected to the HSM server. The HSM servers respectively manage operation of each of the HSMs. The HSM server of the first object management site includes an object manager module that manages and controls the cryptographic object management system. The persistent layers respectively store cryptographic objects for use by the HSMs. Each of the HSMs respectively performs crypto-processing on one or more of the cryptographic objects.

    摘要: A desktop plastic card printer that is configured to allow installation of a smart card cartridge within an interior space of the printer housing through an opening, for example an opening in a side wall, in the printer housing. Both the mechanical installation and electrical installation of the smart card cartridge occurs via the opening. This allows the desktop plastic card printer to be quickly and easily retrofitted to have the ability to electronically read data from and/or electronically program data on an integrated circuit chip of a plastic card. The retrofitting can take place without using any mechanical tools and without having to remove the entire, or a substantial portion of, the printer housing.
