A method of operating an automated transaction machine (ATM) can include at least partially disengaging a first component of the ATM from a remainder of the ATM. The method can also include altering the first component to a non-conforming condition after being at least partially disengaged. The method can also include re-engaging the first component with the ATM after being altered. The method can also include replacing a second component of the ATM after the re-engaging. Replacing the second component can include pairing the second component with a computing device of the ATM. The pairing can be responsive at least in part to the altering.

Method of operating an automated transaction machine for enhanced security

A method of operating an automated transaction machine (ATM) can include receiving a token from a user. The method can also include confirming a personal identification number (PIN) of the user and dispensing banknotes in response to the confirming. The method can also include at least partially disengaging a first component of the ATM from a remainder of the ATM. The method can also include altering the first component to a non-conforming condition after being at least partially disengaged. The method can also include re-engaging the first component with the ATM after being altered. The method can also include replacing a second component of the ATM after the re-engaging. Replacing the second component can include pairing the second component with a computing device of the ATM. The pairing can be responsive at least in part to the altering.

According to various embodiments, a document of value processing device may include: a secured chamber configured to accommodate one or more documents of value and to protect at least one handling device from unauthorized access; the at least one handling device disposed inside the secured chamber to handle at least an output of the one or more documents of value out of the secured chamber may; a control circuit coupled to the at least one handling device to control an operation of the at least one handling device; and a security circuit disposed inside the secured chamber. The security circuit is configured to receive a cryptographically processed signal, to verify the received cryptographically processed signal, and to disable or enable the operation of the at least one handling device based on a verification result.

Document of value processing device and method for operating a document of value processing device

An apparatus () for handling bills and/or coins has a control unit () that detects a peripheral device connected to the control unit (), generates a data encryption key (DEK), reads from the peripheral device identification information (W) that denotes the peripheral device, generates a key encryption key (KEK) based the read identification information (W), stores an encrypted data encryption key (VDEK) generated by encrypting the data encryption key (DEK) using the key encryption key (KEK) in a memory area of a hard disk (), and ascertains the data encryption key (DEK) by decrypting the encrypted data encryption key (VDEK) using the key encryption key (KEK). The control unit () encrypts useful data to be stored on the hard disk () in encrypted form using the data encryption key (DEK) or decrypts useful data stored on the hard disk in encrypted form using the data encryption key (DEK).

Apparatus for handling bills and/or coins, and method for initializing and operating such an apparatus

The invention relates to the carrying out of verification processes with regard to authorization of user and/or payment processes by means of a mobile telephone terminal, whereby an identifier associated with an authorized user and/or payer is provided in such a way that it can be called up and represented on a display device of a mobile telephone terminal associated with the authorized user and/or payer. On the instructions of the authorized user and/or payer, the identifier is represented on the display device and optically scanned in an interrogation station. A control message with a request for confirmation of a process verifying the authorization of use and/or payment process is transmitted to the mobile telephone terminal. In order to grant use and/or carry out payment, the control message receives a reply by transmitting a confirmation message from the mobile telephone terminal to the interrogation station.
