United States : INTEL Data Protection Technology for Transactions launched [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Intel has launched a new solution to offer end-to-end encryption of consumer and financial data that is built into point of sale (POS) platforms. Intel Data Protection Technology for Transactions integrates hardware like Intel Core and select Intel Atom processors with software optimised for retailers. This helps provider enhanced security from the start of a transaction until data is stored on a bank server. Complementing current retail investments in EMV credit card authorisation, tokenisation and other data protection, the new release adds a further layer of software to secure the payment process. The software operates on the Intel chipset, helping to fill the void between data transmitted between point of sale devices and the data centre. Director of Mobility Retail and Payments, Intel, Michelle Tinsley, said : "This solution introduces a significant improvement in today's retail transaction data protection without costly hardware upgrades, and provides retailers a path for adopting new internet of things technologies. It also sets the stage to expand to other industries such as financial services, healthcare or even government agencies." (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
