PC Pinpad Reader Applications

PC Pinpad Reader is a new class 2 reader featuring a keypad and display, adding Secure PIN Entry (SPE) functionality to the Gemalto PC-Link readers range.

Security and confidentiality
PC Pinpad Reader provides a highly secure way to enhance your smart card-based application, by protecting the smart card PIN code from unauthorized access. The PIN code is entered locally and safely on the reader, and is thus never transmitted to the PC. This is especially relevant for corporate security, Internet commerce and online banking services, where strong security and confidentiality is a must.

 

PC Pinpad Reader Benefits

Ease of use
PC Pinpad Reader comes with a large 2 lines and 16 characters display, to guide and help the user with PIN entry and change operations. User interface is available in several languages and new ones can be easily programmed.
Integration and maintenance is simplified by re-using PC-Link drivers and PC Core Pro firmware, already implemented in Gemalto PC-Link readers and partner keyboards

Standards based
PC Pinpad Reader has passed all computing and banking certifications such as Microsoft WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) and EMVCo Terminal level 1 for Gemcore TwinPro IFM.
Furthermore, PC Pinpad Reader is also compliant with PC/SC 2.0

Branding on demand
Gemalto can personalize the PC Pinpad Reader reader and its packaging according to the customer?s identity and brand.
A scalable supply chain, a large mass production capacity and qualified manufacturing processes, allows Gemalto to guarantee the best possible service.
