This whitepaper gives an overview over the wide field of Security Technologies for Card-Based Payment Transactions. Along the chain of communication starting with payment cards, proceeding via payment terminals, ATMs, payment service providers, acquirers, payment network sending at your issuing bank, communication of sensitive payment and customer data needs to be thoroughly protected by adequate security technology. With over 30 years experience in various aspects of securing card-based transactions we present the actors involved and the needs of them in their security environment. Based on international and country-specific security standards we depict how Ergonomics can help in implementing a secure solution.
