Abstract

See full text

A security module for use in an electronic funds transfer terminal is contained in a tamper-resistant housing. The module has a PIN pad and is designed to encrypt secret data, such as users personal identity numbers (PINs), so that other terminal processes cannot gain access to it. The encryption functions are carried out in a security controller which includes its own microprocessor and encryption/decryption unit.
