  • METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR STORAGE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20200133534
    Abstract: Techniques perform storage management. Such techniques involve: detecting a change of a size of storage space for a file system, the file system having one or more associated bitmaps, each active bit in the one or more bitmaps indicating data status in storage space not exceeding an upper size limit of the file system; in response to detecting the change, determining, based on the upper size limit, a first number of bits required for indicating the changed storage space; and in response to determining that the first number exceeds a second number of current active bits in the one or more bitmaps, allocating at least one additional active bit for the file system. Accordingly, the number of bits for indicating the file system can be dynamically adjusted based on the changes of the file system.

  • Line-based chip card tamper detection
    Patent number: 10621590
    Abstract: A payment processing device can implement a monitoring system to detect for tamper attempts at a chip card interface. The monitoring system can establish a baseline when no chip card is present in the chip card interface, or in some embodiments, when it is known that an authentic chip card 14 is present in the slot 21. During subsequent evaluations of the chip card interface by the monitoring system, a response received by the monitoring system that deviates from the baseline can indicate that a tamper attempt at the chip card interface may have occurred. If a tamper attempt is determined by the monitoring system, a remedial or corrective action can be taken.

  • Server-enabled chip card interface tamper detection
    Patent number: 10438189
    Abstract: A payment processing device can implement a monitoring system to detect for tamper attempts at a physical interface such as a chip card interface. The monitoring system can establish local tamper criteria including a baseline when no chip card is present in the chip card interface, or in some embodiments, when it is known that an authentic chip card is present in the slot. During subsequent evaluations of the chip card interface by the monitoring system, a response received by the monitoring system that deviates from the local test criteria can indicate that a tamper attempt at the chip card interface may have occurred. The payment processing device may also communicate test results to a server for further testing, or for an update of the local test criteria.

  • Transmit phase detection circuit
    Patent number: 10430783
    Abstract: A payment reader includes a tuning circuit that provides a tuned transmission source signal to an antenna for transmission. A sense circuit coupled to the antenna provides a measured transmitted signal to a binary phase detection circuit. The binary phase detection circuit filters and processes the signal to provide an analog phase signal that corresponds to a phase difference between the measured transmitted signal and the transmission source signal. A comparison circuit compares the analog phase signal to a reference signal, and a decision circuit adjusts the operation of the transmission circuitry based on the comparison.

  • Expedited booting with brownout monitoring
    Patent number: 10410202
    Abstract: An expedited booting process with brownout detection for a payment reader is provided. The payment reader can execute a boot sequence from read only memory at startup. A check is made of a stored flag value to determine whether a value such as a flag indicates whether or not a prior execution of the boot sequence was successful. If the last execution of the boot sequence was successful, the boot sequence can be executed at a faster clock rate. Otherwise the boot sequence is executed at a slower clock rate. An evaluation can be made to determine whether a predetermined portion of the boot sequence has been surpassed. If the predetermined portion of the boot sequence has been surpassed, the flag value can be set to indicate a successful execution of the boot sequence and the general operating instructions for the payment reader are then executed.
