GemPC Pinpad

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

Security and confidentiality

GemPC Pinpad 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.

Easy of use

GemPC Pinpad 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 GemPC?s drivers and GemCore Pro firmware, already implemented in GemPC readers and partner keyboards

GemPocket

One-Time Password and challenge–response functions

Gemalto Pocket reader is a handheld device designed to secure authentication of cardholders for remote banking, e-commerce or network access control applications.

The reader’s main role is to prevent the user to type his/her PIN on the workstation keyboard,which is considered a vulnerable environment.

After having inserted its smart card, the Gemalto Pocket reader user is invited to enter his/her PIN code. Then the reader formats and displays the One-Time Password (OTP) computed by the card. The OTP is a unique and non-reusable numeric password that allows the remote server to authenticate both the smart card and its owner. This two-factor authentication is a strong
alternative to static password schemes or token devices currently used today.

To secure important transactions, Gemalto Pocket reader also displays digital signatures according to the challenge-response
mechanism.

A standard generic device

The Gemalto Pocket reader family is compliant with the standard industry specifications: EMV,MasterCard/ Visa Chip uthentication Program (CAP) and therefore accepts the most common banking cards in the market. Since the smart card handles both the personal data of its owner and the cryptographic algorithms, the reader is the same for all users and cost effective. It does not require any personalization.
