LONG BEACH, Miss. ? Triton says it has received certification for its Encrypting PIN Pad (EPP) T1.0 under Canada's Interac Association Device Certification Program.
In addition to Interac requirements, Triton's T1.0 EPPs recently received certification meeting Visa International standards, thereby ensuring that Triton ATMs are certified to process both Interac and Visa transactions.
According to a news release, the Triton EPP stores encryption keys and performs all data encryption within the secure boundaries of the EPP module itself. All Triton EPP modules also support Triple DES encryption, further enhancing the security of transmitted data.
"With security at the forefront of the off-premise ATM marketplace in Canada and with Interac cardholder's security in mind, Triton has taken a significant step ahead of the competition by certifying its EPP to the latest Interac and Visa security standards," said Doug Epp, general manager at Calypso, Triton's processor in Canada.
"Tests conducted by DOMUS IT Security Lab of Canada confirmed that the Triton EPP meets Interac's new security requirements for Shared Cash Dispensing," said Greg Scorsone, director of DOMUS IT's Security Lab.
Triton is the first ATM manufacturer the lab has certified under Interac's latest standards, Scorsone added.
