1.8.2 Data security
1.8.2.1 Equipment design
The terminal was designed with the goal of resisting tampering, in order to keep the confidential character of
sensitive data (keys or confidential code), and to delete this data as soon as a tamper attempt is detected.
Tamper resistance
• All the data are inside the crypto processor and are thus physically protected by the chip. This prevents
the reading of secret bank keys and confidential codes.
• The display, keypad and smart card readers are controlled by the crypto processor.
1.8.2.2 Tamper detection
Protection against tampering
• By micro switches
• By temperature surveillance
• By voltage surveillance
