carts or other items. Being bumped and potentially trigger the system into
“thinking” a breach attempt has occurred, causing the encryption keys to be
cleared.
PIN Protection
Measures
The following techniques can be employed to provide for effective screening of
the PIN-entry keypad during the PIN entry process. These methods would
typically be used in combination, though in some cases a method might be used
singly.
Positioning of terminal on the check-stand in such a way as to make visual
observation of the PIN-entry process infeasible. Examples include:
Visual shields designed into the check-stand. The shields may be solely
for shielding purposes, or may be part of the general check-stand design.
Position the PED so that it is angled in such a way that PIN spying is
difficult.
Installing PED on an adjustable stand that allows consumers to swivel the
terminal sideways and/or tilt it forwards/backwards to a position that makes
visual observation of the PIN-entry process difficult.
Positioning of in-store security cameras so that the PIN-entry keypad is not
visible.
The following table describes the two preferred mounting methods and the
recommended measure to protect from PIN capture in four observation corridors:
