Product: NURIT 222 PIN pad
Company: Lipman USA Inc.

You won't catch a NURIT 222 PIN pad in a police photo illustrating what a hacked PIN debit device looks like. Yes, in such a photo seen 'round the POS world in June, a Canadian policeman displays the inside of such a debit-card scanner recovered from a card fraud ring. The photo reveals the uses to which such devices can be subjected.

Although a PIN pad rather than scanner, Lipman's new model is tamper-resistant, tamper-evident and tamper-responsive, protecting merchants from fraudulent intrusion and corruption, according to the company. Any attempted breach of security results in immediate destruction of all encryption keys and other sensitive data.

The NURIT 222 safeguards transactions with multiple key management schemes including Fixed, MasterSession and derived unique key per transaction (DUKPT), with data encryption standard (DES) and Triple DES support.

A rugged, field-tested design is said to assure continuous service, even in difficult environments. It is compatible with all NURIT terminals, electronic cash registers and third-party POS systems.

Standard features include:

• A 128 x 64 pixel graphical display
• 15 keys
• 128KB of Flash memory
• 12KB of storage for up to 100 encryption keys
• One-year RAM battery backup
• An RS-232 data interface
• Visa PIN entry device (PED) online approval

The shock-resistant NURIT 222 is lightweight and fits comfortably in the palm of the hand.

Lipman is being acquired by VeriFone, depending on approval by the Justice Department and shareholders. "All NURIT brands will still be supported by VeriFone after the acquisition," said Ben Milano, Marketing Communications Manager for Lipman USA.
