Micro Payment, Contactless Payment, SEPA: Utimaco's HSMs Remain Consistently the Anchor of Trust

Micro Payment, Contactless Payment, SEPA: Utimaco's HSMs Remain Consistently the Anchor of Trust PR Newswire AACHEN, Germany, October 26, 2012 AACHEN, Germany, October 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- - Custom HSMs at CARTES in Paris, Nov. 6-8, 2012 at Utimaco Safeware AG, Hall 4 / M062 Utimaco has dedicated the presentation of their hardware security modules (HSM) at this year's CARTES to the theme "As unique as you are", by which they are particularly responding to product suppliers and customers in the payment industry. Payment undergoes continuous change, like currently through SEPA or requirements through new mobile payment procedures. Due to these constant changes, payment suppliers request the highest security in addition to flexibility and long-term availability. Some years ago, the introduction of "micro payments" for app stores and music downloads showed how consistent and enduring these changes in payment are: The transaction software needs to be modified to keep processing efficient. Subsequently, this leads to modifications in the security requirements, and HSMs must be able to comply with higher transaction rates and other changes. With its flexible platform, Utimaco's CryptoServers are, for example, able to adapt to new or modified interfaces, extensions of their own features, and even modifications of crypto procedures. Moreover, the CryptoServers are internationally deployable due to their approval by the German banking sector and their FIPS certification.
