Zytronic CryptoTouch PIN-on-Glass touch screens

Zytronic has announced an ultra-secure version of its rugged, customised touch screens that supports PIN entry applications available via its development partner, Cryptera. The company’s full range of CryptoTouch PIN-on-Glass products has attained international level 5 certification from the PCI (Payment Card Industry) Security Standards Council.

The PCI 5.x approval covers 12 customisable touch screen sizes, ranging from 5″ to 27″. The technology enables authenticated payments to be handled entirely via the touch screen without the need for a separate mechanical encrypting PIN pad (EPP), which can increase system cost, spoil the sleek look that kiosk designers and users are seeking, and be difficult to clean and disinfect.

Uses include various transactional and self-service payment applications such as ATMs, financial kiosks, forecourt payment, parking, ticketing and quick-service restaurants. The technology is approved for offline and online transactions and can be combined with a secure card reader and an NFC reader for contactless payments. All modules hold PCI 5.x certification and both card readers are EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) approved and hold international card scheme approvals.
