PCAP touch panel with data encryption for outdoor HMIs

HMIs for outdoor applications fulfil additional security functions for integrated payment systems with the new touch controller solutions. The touch controllers offer cryptographic authentication and data encryption.

PCAP touch panel with cryptographic authentication and data encryption

PCAP touch panels for use in extreme conditions require an adapted design. For safe everyday operation in outdoor applications, such systems must fulfil higher specifications in terms of temperature and weather resistance, UV exposure or water resistance.

Security measures are crucial for protecting sensitive data such as credit card and account information. Until now, PIN entry was only possible via an additional keypad. New PCAP touch controller now offer additional integrated security functions with encryption of touch data and cryptographic authentication via the software. In addition to adapting the software to the system, the design of the hardware is also crucial in order to create an optimal outdoor HMI with integrated payment function.
