  • Publication number: 20210383017
    Abstract: In the field of payment terminals, a new generation of feature-rich payment terminals is emerging. These payment terminals are mass-produced and the level of security provided for data entry operations is low because the primary function of these communication terminals is not the entry of sensitive data. As a result, the data relating to payment transactions entered via these payment terminals are entered with a level of security that is not adequate as regards the sensitivity of the data entered. Accordingly, a communication terminal is provided, which secures data entered via a user interface of a communication terminal, by transmitting them among a stream of dummy data, and by encrypting all data, those actually entered by a user and the dummy data, before the transmission thereof to a secure data processing device.
