Zusammenfassung:An example printing device includes: printing components; a communication interface to communicate with a server; a memory storing a cryptographic key and a device identifier; and a processor connected to the printing components, the communication interface and the memory, the memory further storing instructions, the processor to execute the instructions. The instructions are to: generate usage data indicative of usage of the printing components. The instructions are further to: encrypt the usage data using the cryptographic key to generate encrypted usage data. The instructions are further to: transmit, using the communication interface, the encrypted usage data to the server for storage with the device identifier. The instructions are further to: receive a request to transmit the cryptographic key to the server to decrypt the encrypted usage data. The instructions are further to: in response, transmit, using the communication interface, the cryptographic key to the server with the device identifier.
