  • PRINTER ENCRYPTION
    Publication number: 20190116026
    Abstract: Examples associated with printer encryption are described. One example printer includes a data store to store a one-time pad. An encryption module may encrypt a message using the one-time pad. The encryption module also transmits the encrypted message to a trusted device that stores a copy of the one-time pad. A decryption module uses the one-time pad to decrypt a received message form the trusted device. The decryption module also controls the printer to perform an action based on the received message. A refresh module replaces the one-time pad during a service event.

  • AUTHENTICATION USING SEQUENCE OF IMAGES
    Publication number: 20190034615
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to authentication using a sequence of images. For example, a computing device may include an input device to receive data from a user and a processor in communication with the input device.

The processor receives, via the input device, the private key in response to the request, where the private key includes a sequence of images based on the public key. The processor authenticates the user when each image in the sequence of images is associated with a particular object previously assigned to the user based on the set of categories.
