This chapter provides a brief description of VeriFone's PINpad 1000
The PINpad 1000 is a peripheral data entry device that accepts and encrypts
SE
Personal Identification Numbers (PINs). Typically, a PIN is a four- to twelve-digit
code, known only by the customer and the issuer. A PIN is requested during a
transaction to verify that a customer is authorized to use the account (card)
offered. The PIN also serves as the electronic signature for the credit or debit
transaction.

PINpad 1001, and NURIT 222 families, with support for Triple Data Encryption
Standard (3DES) security and improved ergonomics — all in a rugged, reliable,
backward-compatible solution.
The PINpad 1000 provides the perfect solution for acquirers, processors, and
SE
merchants looking to capitalize on the expanding range of debit, electronic
benefits transfer (EBT), and other PIN-based transactions. This compact,
easy-to-use, device connects to most existing point-of-sale (POS) controllers such
as VeriFone Omni or NURIT transaction terminals, ZON II microcomputers, or
other microcomputer-based systems. The controller directs all PlN pad device
operations, including communication with the remote host computer, if applicable,
and offers a fast, and simple way to process PIN-based transactions.
