  • Publication number: 20240038029
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting a skimmer located proximate a card reader of a self-service terminal (SST). The systems and methods may include obtaining a baseline measurement for a plurality of sensors located proximate the card reader and activating a subset of the plurality of sensors. A signal may be received from each of the subset of the plurality of sensors that were activated. When the signal from each of the subset of the plurality of sensors deviate from the baseline measurement by a predetermined threshold, a determination may be made that the skimmer is proximate the card reader. In response to determining that the skimmer is located proximate the card reader, the self-service terminal may be disabled.

  • Patent number: 8587551
    Abstract: A hardware encryption device comprises: a touch panel controller; and a cryptographic engine in communication with the touch panel controller. The touch panel controller receives co-ordinates from the cryptographic engine corresponding to an area on a touch panel selected by a user. The cryptographic engine is operable to discriminate between a selection in a secure area on a screen and a selection in a non-secure area on a screen, and to action the selection differently depending on whether the selection is in a secure area or a non-secure area.

  • Publication number: 20080116254
    Abstract: A system and method of managing and replenishing Self-Service Terminals (SSTs). A wireless link is established between a secure vehicle and an SST in order for the SST to transmit status information to the secure vehicle to enable a decision to be taken whether to proceed with replenishment of the SST from the secure vehicle. Systems and methods are also provided for the transfer of status logs from SSTs to secure vehicles for further transmission to technicians for repair and/or maintenance of the SST.

  • Publication number: 20080111679
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking the location of an item during transport of that item from a mobile location to a fixed location. Wireless links established between the mobile location, the fixed location, and the item to be transported, are utilized to calculate a location parameter of the item to be transported. The calculated location parameter of the item is compared to a secure corridor and security features of the item to be transported may be activated dependent upon the result of that calculation.
