Abstract
Examples described herein relate to accessing an identity certificate with a printing device based on validation information obtained from a user. Examples include generating, with the printing device, a token based at least in part on the identity certificate, and the token incorporating constraint data. Examples further include printing the token having the identity certificate and the constraint data.
Claims20
A printing device, comprising:
- a memory to store an identity certificate that is unique to the printing device;
- a security module to obtain validation data from a user to access the identity certificate;
- a token module to generate a token incorporating the accessed identity certificate, wherein the token is constrained based at least in part on constraint data that is provided to the printing device and incorporated into the token;
- and
- printing hardware capable of printing the token having the incorporated accessed identity certificate and incorporated constraint data on a medium.

A method performed by a printing device, comprising:
- obtaining, via network connection, authorization from a third-party to generate a token at the printing device, the token to be presented to the third-party;
- obtaining validation information from a user to access an identity certificate that is unique to the printing device stored on the printing device;
- generating the token based at least in part on the identity certificate and the authorization from the third-party, wherein generating the token includes incorporating constraint data into the token;
- and
- printing the token having the incorporated constraint data and the identity certificate on a medium.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed, cause a printing device to:
- obtain validation data from a user to access an identity certificate, which is unique to the printing device, stored in memory;
- generate a token incorporating the accessed identity certificate, wherein the token is constrained based at least in part on received constraint data and generating the token includes incorporating constraint data into the token;
- and
- print the token having the incorporated accessed identity certificate and the incorporated constraint data on a medium.
