Retail Banking

The security of retail electronic banking is largely dependent upon the security of cryptographic devices (e.g. PIN pads, ATMs, etc.), which are generally situated in non-secure environments. There is a risk that the devices may be tampered with or otherwise compromised to disclose or modify data. It is essential that the risk of financial loss is reduced through the appropriate use of cryptographic devices that have proper physical and logical security characteristics and are properly managed.

BSI’s International standards specify the characteristics and the management of the secure cryptographic devices used to protect messages, cryptographic keys, electronic payments and other sensitive information used in a retail banking environment.
