Abstract
A point-of-sale (POS) terminal is provided for entering a PIN to enable a financial transaction. The point-of-sale terminal has a card reader for reading information from a credit card, a processor for running an operating system, with applications, a touch screen for displaying information and receiving user inputs, and a Security-Box connected between the touch screen and the processor to control the user input on the touch screen to the processor. The Security Box is configured to run in a 'PIN Entry Mode' and a 'Clear Text Mode.' When running in “PIN Entry Mode” the user input is not forwarded as touch coordinates to the processor and when running in “Clear Text Mode” the touch coordinates are transmitted to the processors.
