  • Publication number: 20080077802
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that test authentication information on a fuel cartridge. A controller on a device that interfaces with the cartridge tests and validates the authentication information before permitting fuel provision from the cartridge. The authentication information can be used to prevent unauthorized cartridges from providing fuel. This permits the device to ensure that the cartridge, its manufacturer, and/or its contents are acceptable. Authentication information stored in a cartridge memory may also be encrypted.
