A method includes monitoring patterns of commands provided by a self-service terminal controller, identifying potential fraud in the monitored patterns of commands, and suspending operation of a dispenser of the self-service terminal responsive to the identification of potential fraud.

Fraud detection in self-service terminal

Various embodiments include composite security interconnect devices and methods. One method embodiment that may be performed by a composite security interconnect device, also referred to herein as a security controller, includes decrypting a first encrypted input received from a peripheral device with a first encryption key to obtain clear text. The first encryption key may be an encryption key established between the security controller and the peripheral device. The method further includes encrypting the clear text with a second encryption key to obtain second encrypted input, the second encryption key being a key of an encryption key pair established with a transaction processing host.

Composite security interconnect device and methods

A Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of a device is modified to: obtain a first value from a medium interfaced to the device, produce a second value from boot data resident on the medium, compare the first value to the second value, and boot from the boot data of the medium when the first value is equal to the second value.

Self-service terminal (SST) secure boot

Systems and methods for utilizing a diagnostics only boot mode may include initializing, by a computing device comprising a processor, a boot sequence. The computing device may detect installation of a hardware module. In response to detection of the hardware module, the computing device may initialize an alternate boot sequence.

Diagnostics only boot mode

Methods and a system for a mobile device conduit of a transaction device are provided. A connection from a mobile device to a transaction device is made. Information is gathered from the transaction device and/or supplied to the transaction device from and/or to the mobile device. In an embodiment, the transaction device is used to remote a display of the mobile device to the transaction device.

Mobile device conduit for a transaction device

Software executes on a processor of a device, such as an automate teller machine, at start-up to perform validation of expected peripheral devices for a predetermined number of start-ups. Once the predetermined number of start-ups has been reached with the same peripheral devices being present and operational the validation operation is curtailed and start-up of the device is sped up.

Device start up system and method

A self-service terminal comprises a pc core; at least one module coupled to the pc core; a control application executing on the pc core for controlling the operation of the terminal; and a management application executing on the pc core. The management application is arranged to (i) monitor state of health of the pc core, the control application, and the at least one module, (ii) detect a fault state at any of the pc core, the control application, and the at least one module, (iii) monitor the control application to ascertain if a filter criterion is satisfied, and (iv) transmit a fault signal from the terminal only if the filter criterion is not satisfied.

Self-service terminal

A system implementing secure access to management information, the system () comprising: an open management service () including an open management application programming interface (); a managed object () generating management information; and an object interface () for (i) receiving management information from the object, (ii) converting the received management information into a format accessible to the open management service, and (iii) providing the management information to the open management service () in response to a valid request from a client (). The system further comprises an authorization component () for verifying an access code () associated with the request to determine if the client () is authorized to issue the request.
