Security 

Scalable, Flexible, Low-Cost Architecture from Renesas

Renesas Technology has developed a tamperproof ePOS reference platform to address the critical issues that financial-transaction device manufacturers face in deploying next-generation terminals:

• Deploying current and future EMV technology specifications
• Decreasing the high BOM for card readers in order to enable mass-market applications
• Finding ways to implement secured, remote updates of devices and applications
• Migrating legacy applications and architectures to designs that meet current and future requirements
• Safeguarding EFTPOS equipment against slamming and unauthorized transfers of technology
• Minimizing maintenance and upgrade costs of device hardware and software
• Reducing the high cost of market entry that inhibits new terminal manufacturers

The Renesas ePOS reference platform gives financial-transaction device manufacturers a strong base for developing secure, scalable terminals that meet the performance and cost requirements for next-generation payment devices. They can use this open-standard based, market-ready design to accelerate the development and deployment of secure EMV terminals that not only incorporate the latest security standards, but also achieve improved performance and have a lower overall cost of ownership.
