Definitions
- This invention relates to a system for generating vending tokens and, more particularly, to a system for generating vending tokens of a type which is used in a prepayment meter to effect the purchase of utilities by means of prepayment.
- the invention extends to a method for generating such vending tokens.
- vending tokens for the purchase of utilities by means of prepayment.
- a vending token is usually generated as a function of certain input parameters, namely, a desired quantity or value of a utility to be purchased, a time and date, and additional parameters that are not germane to the invention and will not be discussed further in this specification.
- the token is entered into a prepayment meter, usually by means of a keypad, where it is decoded to recover therefrom the amount of the utility that has been prepurchased.
- vending tokens Prime concerns relating to these vending tokens are fraud and security. Mere possession of a valid vending token enables a consumer to consume a predetermined quantity of a utility that has been encoded during generation of that vending token. In an effort to alleviate these concerns, the vending token is usually generated in an encrypted format.
- the encryption may be performed according to a format called Standard Transfer Specification (STS), which is well known in the art.
- STS Standard Transfer Specification
- STS Standard Transfer Specification
- STS Standard Transfer Specification
- the security module must reside at a secure location as it contains master encryption keys, which are used to generate the vending keys Kv. Further, any one of the vending keys Kv can generate dispenser keys Kd for a plurality of utility meters, giving rise to a one-to-many relationship. Any breach of security of a vending key Kv is potentially harmful to a utility provider as it could be used to fraudulently generate any number of dispenser keys Kd, thereby enabling tokens to be generated with any desired amount of credit encoded thereon. Thus, the security module must be tamperproof, which renders it bulky and expensive. In addition, traditional systems are open to cryptographic attack, and do not lend themselves to the use of technology more resistant to such attack, such as the use of smart cards.

- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a system for generating a vending token for use with a utility prepayment meter, according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a flow chart illustrating the various steps in generating the vending token by the system of Figure 1
- a system for generating a vending token (not shown) for use with a utility prepayment meter (4) is indicated generally by reference numeral (1 ).
- the system (1) includes a data processing means (2), in the form of a vending terminal, located at a vending location at which a consumer of a utility may purchase a desired quantity of the utility by means of prepayment.
- the vending terminal (2) is operable to generate a vending token in printed format, by means of a printer (10) on a paper slip (3).
- the vending token may be entered by the consumer into the prepayment meter (4) by means of a keypad (5) on the meter (4), to enable a supply of the desired quantity of the utility.
- the vending terminal (2) is co-operable with a removable storage means (6), in the form of a smart card. It will be appreciated that the vending token is a code, which is reduced to material form by printing or storing as electronic data, or the like.
- the system (1) further includes dispenser key generating means (7), in the form of a computer processor, and vending key generating means (8), also in the form of a computer processor, the operation of which will be described in greater detail below.
- dispenser key generating means (7) and vending key generating means (8) are located at a secure location remote from the vending site.
- a first-time purchaser, or consumer, of a utility is provided with a smart card (6).
- the vending terminal (2) stores in the smart card a meter identification code and a dispenser key Kd.
- the dispenser key Kd is a cryptographic key and is thus a parameter used in conjunction with an algorithm for the validation, authentication, enciphering or deciphering of data.
- the meter identification code is unique to the user's prepayment meter (4), and the dispenser key Kd is generated by the dispenser key generating means (7) and is similarly unique to the user's prepayment meter (4).
- An encryption algorithm for generating a vending token for use with the prepayment meter (4) is executable by the vending terminal (2) when the smart card (6) is inserted therein.
- the encryption algorithm is executable by the vending terminal (2) to generate an encrypted vending token as a function of a desired quantity (or its equivalent in value) of the utility purchased by the consumer, the stored dispenser key Kd, the stored meter identification code, a time and date, and a randomly generated number.
- the meter identification code and dispenser key Kd are generated by the dispenser key generating means (7), and the smart card (6) is provided to the user with these codes already stored on the card (6).
- dispenser key Kd and meter identification code as input parameters to the encryption algorithm ensures that a vending token generated in this manner is co-operable only with the consumer's own prepayment meter (4).
- only the dispenser key Kd is stored on the smart card (6).
- the dispenser key generating means (7) communicates with the vending terminal (2) by means of a communication channel (9) in the form of a dial-up telecommunication link.
- the dispenser key generating means (7) is operable in response to a request signal from the vending terminal (2) to generate the dispenser key Kd and to transmit the generated dispenser key to the vending terminal (2) along the communication channel (9) for storage in the smart card (6).
- the dispenser key generating means (7) generates the unique dispenser key Kd as a function of a vending key Kv and a utility consumption tariff.
- the vending key Kv provided to the dispenser key generating means (7) is one of a number of different vending keys generated by the vending key generating means (8). These vending keys Kv are also cryptographic keys. A selected one of these different vending keys is utilized by the dispenser key generating means (7) to generate the dispenser key Kd.
- the system (1) eliminates the requirement to implement the vending key generating means (8) and the dispenser key generating means (7) at the vending location, with the attendant security problems outlined above.
- the system (1) enables the implementation of a distributed vending infrastructure with only one centralized vending key and dispenser key generating means, (8) and (7) respectively, that can be adequately secured against interception or theft of the vending keys Kv.
- the system (1 ) is advantageous for reasons of cost, as it enables the generation of vending tokens at a vending location through the use of relatively inexpensive technology, such as smart cards, which need not be resistant to cryptographic attacks.
- the reason for this assertion is that a vending token generated in this manner is only usable on the particular prepayment meter (4) belonging to the consumer.
- a vending key Kv is generated by a vending key generating means (8).
- the vending key generating means (8) is a secure module incorporating a computer processor.
- vending keys generated by the secure module are related to supply groups, i.e. distribution areas for the utility being dispensed, and are generated as a function of a supply group code.
- the dispenser key generating means (7) which also comprises a secure module incorporating a computer processor, generates a dispenser key Kd and communicates the code Kd to the token vending terminal (2) in which a smart card (6) has been inserted.
- the dispenser key generating means (7) may provide a vending key Kd and save the key to the smart card (2), prior to use of the card (2). In either event, the dispenser key Kd is saved to the card (2).
- a user submits the card (2) at a vending location and the card (2) is coupled to the vending terminal (2) via a card reader.
- the dispenser key Kd is generated as a function of the supply group code, tariff index, a unique dispenser identification number and other parameters.
- an encryption algorithm is used to generate an encrypted vending token.
- Input parameters encrypted by the algorithm, or used in combination with the algorithm include the date and time of the transaction, provided by the vending terminal (2), a random number, provided by a random number generator, the quantity of the utility required or the amount of money tendered in payment therefor, the dispenser key Kd and the meter identification number.
- the vending token generated is printed onto a paper slip (3) via the printer (10), which is coupled to the vending terminal (2).
- the vending token may be saved to the smart card (6).
- the user of the utility inputs the vending token at his utility meter (4) by means of the keypad (5) or card reader, depending on the embodiment selected. Future transactions for the purchase of the utility no longer require the generation of a new dispenser key Kd by the dispenser key generating means (7), and simply require the generation of a new vending token, depending on the quantity of the utility or value thereof required by the user at the time.
- the meter identification code and dispenser key Kd are pre-installed on the smart card (6), it will generally not be necessary for the dispenser key generating means (7) and the vending terminal (2) to communicate for each vending transaction or even for an initial transaction.
- the random number generator, encryption algorithm and the token-generating function may reside in the vending terminal (2). Instead, they may reside in a microprocessor memory of the smart card (6).
- the invention therefore provides a distributed vending system for prepayment tokens that may be implemented with smart-card technology, and does not require the inclusion of expensive security measures at point-of-sale terminals.
