That is why, our top notch experts put at your disposal their expertise in Payment standards cybersecurity consulting to ensure a successful evaluation of your product.Smart Payment Cards

EMVCo certification is required for ICs and Java Card Platforms. EMVCo certification focuses on penetration testing and security throughout the life cycle of the product.
Mobile Payments
Mobile Payments are those made for a product or service through a portable electronic device such as a tablet, smartphone or wearables.
Mobile wallets and NFC payments are the most widely known mobile payment methods. In addition, there are many more different types of mobile payments such as:
MST payments (Magnetic Secure Transmissions Payments).
QR code payments.
Mobile to mobile payments
Different Architectures may be used for your mobile payment such as Mobile Payment Applications (MPA), Software Development Kits (SDK) or TEE based payment solutions.
Different Payment Brands have launched their Mobile Payment schemes such as MasterCard Cloud Based Payment (MCBP) or VISA Ready Cloud Based Payment (VCBP).Payment Terminals
Payment terminals are highly sophisticated devices these days. They are no longer simple swipe card readers used to capture card numbers. These devices are used for a range of payment transactions as well as value added electronic transaction processing services such as processing evouchers, product coupons, bill payments, gift cards and loyalty programme points. .
Payment Terminals are evaluated using the PCI-PTS standard, which is defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council or PCI SSC and addresses the logical and physical protection of the cardholder and other sensitive data in payment security devices. This standard evaluates the products against a common module of requirements that refer to safe construction and design of the devices and another set of optional requirements depending on the features implemented by the module such communication with wireless standard or the ability to encrypt account data (SRED). A new standard called PCI CPoC brings security and testing requirements for Mobile Payments Terminal products that support contactless payments on a commercial COTS device using a built-in NFC reader.They already trusted us.
