Abstract:
A method of operating a cartridge chip installed in an imaging device includes: causing, by the cartridge chip, the imaging device to enter an error condition; monitoring the timing or sequence of communication signals received from the imaging device during at least a portion of the error condition; and operating, based on the timing or sequence of the communication signals received from the imaging device during at least a portion of the error condition, in a first mode of operation compatible with a first type of imaging device not having a list of banned serial numbers or in a second mode of operation compatible with a second type of imaging device having a list of banned serial numbers.

Abstract:
An encryption circuit for receiving an input of a first digital key and plaintext data, the encryption circuit for mathematically manipulating the digital key and the plaintext data to encrypt the plaintext data into encrypted data, wherein at least a portion of the encryption circuit comprises IBG circuitry. A decryption circuit for receiving an input of a second digital key and the encrypted data, the decryption circuit for mathematically manipulating the digital key and the encrypted data to decrypt the encrypted data into the plaintext data, wherein at least a portion of the decryption circuit comprises IBG circuitry
