Product: P1300 PIN Pad
Company: Hypercom Corp.

In response to an increasing merchant demand for less expensive, PIN-based debit card transactions, and growing concerns over the security of transactions and cardholder data, Hypercom Corp. now offers a PIN pad that meets these needs.

Hypercom said its P1300 PIN pad is the first handheld PIN-entry device to meet the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard from Visa U.S.A. and MasterCard International.

PCI is the alignment of the card Associations' rules concerning data security. Other card companies operating in the United States have also endorsed PCI.

In addition to being PCI-approved, Hypercom's PIN pad is Triple-DES certified for derived unique key per transaction, or DUKPT, key management. It also uses message authentication code, or MAC.

The P1300 can integrate with all Hypercom POS terminals and most electronic cash register systems. It has connectivity options that support RS-422, RS-232 and USB ports and Plug-and-play software for use with Hypercom terminals. Other features include an LCD display, color-coded Cancel, Clear and Enter keys, screen-addressable function keys, and a small, ergonomic design so it can fit in the palm of someone's hand.

The product's durable construction includes large, hard rubber keys. It is water resistant and has intrusion detection to prevent tampering.
