The STM140x series of pin and plug-in compatible ultra-low-current security supervisors are the world’s first chips to integrate all the functions required for detecting physical and environmental intrusion included in the major security standards. These functions, previously implemented using several discrete components, are now integrated into one small, low-power silicon device.
Security requirements for POS equipment are defined by a number of national, international, and industry-specific standards: FIPS-140 (Federal Information Processing Standards) is used by US Federal organizations when specifying cryptography-based security systems for the protection of sensitive data, and is widely used for other applications; EMV Co (Europay, MasterCard, and Visa), PCI (Payment Card Industry), and the German ZKA (Zentraler Kreditausschuss) define standards for payment and banking applications.
ST’s new STM140x family is designed to meet all the above standards for physical and environmental tamper detection.
