Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Vending machines have long been used for sorting banknotes used the automatically or manually fed Separate banknotes, one after the other Lead sensor system and depending on the task and Sensor result according to predefinable criteria in different Sort categories.
  • Such an automat is for example from the DE-PS 27 60 269 known.
  • An essential task of this Known sorting machines consist of money in circulation returning banknotes in for the further Circulation of usable and unusable banknotes sort by. Banknotes fall into a third category sorted, for example, not suspect of counterfeit money identifiable or not sortable for other reasons are. Which are not usable for further circulation identified notes must be destroyed reliably, what can happen, for example, that the notes a shredder module integrated in the sorting machine happen of every note in such small snippets divided that from it a restoration of grades is impossible.
  • Money processing at the sorting machine level can be roughly divided into three steps. Of the Machine operator receives at the beginning of his shift a certain volume of money, the receipt of which he acknowledges.
  • the amount of money received is fed to the machine and for example sorted into the categories mentioned. After At the end of the shift, the operator transfers the sorted ones Amounts of money along with an all relevant operations logging printout of a money processing secondary institution.
  • the sorting machine with a printing device, which also includes a so-called shift protocol can be printed out.
  • a printing device which also includes a so-called shift protocol can be printed out.
  • are in this log among other data the sums of those provided in the Categories filed banknotes registered.
  • Based on the log data is basically a review of the individual amounts of money possible by counting again, for example that no banknote can go undetected. This simple form of verification is however when destroyed Notes no longer possible, so special another form of security check on these grades is necessary to counter possible manipulation to be protected.
  • EP-A-0 154 972 describes a method for checking the authenticity of printed documents Postage indicia for postal items.
  • the letter postage is here added an encrypted marking, which is based on the franking data after a secret algorithm is derived. By following the same algorithm and comparison of the result with the marking can determine whether the franking is authentic.
  • US-A-3,990,558 describes a method for Authenticity marking of payment documents, e.g. Bank or postal checks.
  • the checks are provided with a crypto number field, for example is the result of encryption of the serial number and the amount. To check the authenticity of the check, the serial number and the Read the amount again and encrypt it with the same algorithm and that Result of the encryption with the crypto number field printed on the check compared.
  • the object of the invention is therefore in Use of an automatic banknote sorting machine with integrated switching device the highest possible Ensure protection against manipulation.
  • the object is achieved by a method according to claim 1.
  • an authenticity code is used to secure the log data calculated and to check the authenticity of the Protocol this code using the same procedure recalculated and based on the previously determined Identity checked.
  • Fig. 1 shows one possible in a highly schematic form Configuration of a sorting device with the essential functional elements.
  • the banknotes are collected from an input container 6) tent, passed through a sensor section 5 and depending on Sensor result of different output containers 8, 9 or 10 fed.
  • a Shredder 7 collected banknotes.
  • the Containers 9 can still be used for further circulation Notes and 10 so-called manual rework notes in the container to be collected.
  • the latter notes are from the operator of the Check the machine again carefully, for example to suspect counterfeit money or unidentifiable Notes.
  • the dialog is via a console 4 possible with the machine.
  • the sorting machine is also part of the money processing a printer 3 equipped.
  • FIG. 2 An example of such a protocol is shown in FIG. 2 shown.
  • different types of logs are printed out which is not to be discussed in more detail here.
  • Fig. 2 shows a so-called shift protocol, the an operator after processing a certain volume of money can be printed out.
  • This protocol is shared with the edited and sorted in the categories mentioned Banknotes of a person processing the money further Hand over institution.
  • the authenticity marking can be done in a security module 12 of the control and computing unit 11 of the sorting device be calculated.
  • This module contains the Algorithm or the secret key for the calculation the labeling. The module is therefore against to protect unauthorized access.
  • time variable Sizes are included, such as the date or time, or any other purpose fulfilling values, so that each protocol is unique.
  • the authenticity marking can be found on the log can be printed out several times, for example, as in the Fig. 2 shown, before and after the actual log data.
  • the authenticity of the protocol can be checked with anyone Device to be carried out using the in the sorting machine implemented security module 12 and loaded with the appropriate algorithm or key is.
  • the in included the calculation of the authenticity marking Data such as the sums of the U-BN, the HN-BN, the Shr-BN entered manually.
  • the security module uses this to calculate the authenticity marking and shows this on a display; so that the operator displayed identification with the printed on the protocol Can compare labeling. With identity it is ensured that the checked log data are genuine.
  • Procedure achieves a high level of security, which the proper processing of banknotes in automatic Banknote sorting systems concerns.
  • the exam can also be carried out on the shredder itself after a designated operating mode via the Operator console 4 was selected. The result is on displayed on the operator panel screen. On the Representation of a separate verification device that at least the security module 12 and an operating console 4 has been omitted for clarity.
  • Checking the authenticity of the log data can also be done with the help of a terminal be that over the interface 13 with the sorting machine 1 is connected. The necessary data will be transmitted to the terminal, from which in a corresponding Security module of the terminal's authenticity code, such as described above, is calculated.
  • the authenticity markings of several protocols can for example under the protocol number or other suitable data in a memory of the sorting machine to be filed, so that also to a later Old protocols can still be checked at the time are.
