Card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine firmware authentication system
First Claim
1. A card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine comprising:
- at least one computer;
a plurality of hardware devices in operative connection with the at least one computer,wherein the hardware devices include a card reader and a cash dispenser;
wherein at least one of the hardware devices includes at least one processor and a firmware content stored in the hardware device,wherein the firmware content is operative to execute in the at least one processor of the at least one hardware device to cause the at least one hardware device to carry out at least one transaction function,wherein the at least one of the processor of the at least one hardware device is operative responsive to at least one measurement request message received from the at least one computer, to generate a firmware certificate using the firmware content,wherein the at least one computer is operative to cause the firmware certificate to be authenticated,wherein responsive to authentication of the firmware certificate, the at least one computer is operative to cause the at least one hardware device to perform the at least one transaction function, wherein in performing the at least one transaction function, the at least one processor executes the firmware content.

Abstract
A card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine is provided which is operative to authenticate firmware in at least one hardware device of the machine. The hardware device is operative to generate through operation of at least one processor in the at least one hardware device a firmware certificate responsive to the at least one measurement request message and the firmware content. The automated banking machine is operative to send a message from the automated banking machine to a host banking system responsive to the firmware certificate. The host banking machine may authenticate the message and send the automated banking machine an authorization message for performing a transaction function with the automated banking machine. Such a transaction function may include dispensing cash with a cash dispenser of the automated banking machine.
