Slave device circuitry, including processing circuitry which is configured to determine a new session identification value; determine a seed value using a secure hash algorithm on a previously determined seed value; determine a slave number from using the secure hash algorithm on the new session identification value, the determined seed value, and a serial number of the slave device associated with the slave device circuitry; receive a host number from the host imaging apparatus and calculate a session key using a hash-based algorithm computation on the host number, the slave number, the new session identification value, and a stored encryption key. The session key has a first portion for performing encryption and decryption operations on data to be transmitted and data received by the slave device, respectively, and a second portion for generating a new address value of the slave device for communicating with the host. |
