Quote of the Day



“The browser is where the sensitive information is when users are shopping and banking online,” says Mickey Boodai (left), CEO of Trusteer, a vendor of software to protect against financial malware attacks. “Inside the browser is the perfect place for criminals to be.”



Editor's Note:  Our PCI Certified PIN Entry Device NEVER allows financial data (card numbers/online banking authentication) to EVER enter the browser.  The data is Triple DES DUKPT Encrypted INSIDE our device and the encrypted packet is sent via a conduit (Internet, not browser) to it's destination where it is unencrypted.  In the unlikely event the packet is intercepted, the encrypted information is useless gobblygook.  They would need the key to unlock the encryption and each transaction has a Derived Unique Key Per Transaction. (DUKPT)
