Digital security provider Gemalto’s line of MagIC3 POS terminals have achieved independent certification to comply with MasterCard’s Payment Terminal Security program. This security evaluation applies to the TCP/IP protocol suite, which incorporates the MagIC Open&Sec technology running on Linux and offers high-speed transactions, as well as connection and communication flexibility without compromising security.
Objective of the MasterCard International Payment Terminal Security program for IP-enabled POS devices is to ensure the necessary level of protection for transaction and cardholder data at merchants that use equipment that support the TCP/IP protocol suite. The security evaluation verifies that POS devices meet the relevant MasterCard requirements in terms of confidentiality, integrity and communicating parties’ authentication, with a three-year validity period.
Since the commercial launch in November 2006, the MagIC³ product range has been particularly well received in emerging markets. The MagIC³ full range certification confirms the orientation Gemalto has taken with the MCI PTS certification of X1000 GPRS, the previous range of payment terminals. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)
