1. Apparatus comprising:
- an automated banking machine that operates responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records to cause financial transfers, includinga plurality of hardware components,wherein the plurality of hardware components include a card reader operative to read card data on user cards corresponding to financial accounts,wherein at least one of the hardware components includes at least one processor and stored firmware content stored in the hardware component,wherein the firmware content is operative to execute in the at least one processor of the at least one hardware component to cause the at least one hardware component to carry out at least one transaction function,wherein the at least one of the processor of the at least one hardware component is operative to receive at least one measurement request message,wherein the at least one of the processor of the at least one hardware component is operative responsive at least in part to the measurement request message to use at least a portion of the firmware content to generate a firmware certificate; and
at least one computer,wherein the at least one computer is operative to receive the firmware certificate from the at least one hardware component,wherein the at least one computer is operative to cause the firmware certificate to be authenticated,wherein responsive at least in part to authentication of the firmware certificate, the at least one computer is operative to cause the at least one hardware component to perform the at least one transaction function, which includes execution of at least a portion of the firmware content by the at least one processor.

Abstract
An automated banking machine operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The automated banking machine includes a card reader operative to read card data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. The automated banking machine may include a display and a printer to produce records of financial transactions carried out with the machine. The automated banking machine is operative to authenticate firmware in at least one hardware component of the machine prior to causing the at least one hardware component to carry out a transaction function.
