Hypercom and Heartland Payment Systems(R) To Expand Payment Processing and Implement Next-Generation End-to-End Data Encryption
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and PRINCETON, N.J., Oct 22, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Hypercom Corporation (NYSE: HYC) and Heartland Payment Systems(R) (NYSE: HPY), one of the nation’s largest payments processors, today announced a strategic relationship to deliver integrated, high-security payment systems to retailers nationwide and implement Heartland’s end-to-end encryption E3(TM) solution.
“Security in payments transactions is critical in today’s environment of cyber crime and data breaches,” commented Bob Carr, Heartland’s chairman and chief executive officer. “It’s important that merchants nationwide – even those not employing Heartland’s E3 terminals which are expected to be available at the end of this year – have the ability to protect cardholder data. Our strategic relationship with Hypercom will help make E3 more widely available.”
“As one of the top processors in the country, Heartland is helping change the landscape of payment transactions security,” said Philippe Tartavull, Hypercom’s chief executive officer and president. “We will expand payment processing services and help Heartland implement the next generation of end-to-end card data protection for merchants and consumers nationwide.”
Heartland is licensing Hypercom’s SmartPayments(TM) Server Software products as key components of its host electronic transaction processing platform. Branded as Heartland Connect Gateway(TM), this software will enable Hypercom(R) point-of-sale systems to integrate E3 technology which is designed to protect card data from the moment of swipe through transmission to the card brands. The gateway will also allow Hypercom terminals and others to support E3.
SmartPayments will facilitate Heartland’s ability to offer E3 to several key markets by providing an infrastructure and total solution that supports restaurant, hotel and retail, mobile commerce, IP terminals, an e-commerce virtual terminal solution for card-not-present and card-present transactions including debit. SmartPayments provides the ability to support integrated plug-ins for Microsoft’s Retail Management System (RMS) and Intuit’s QuickBooks accounting packages.

Awesome post. Nuff said.
It is about the coding used in online payment systems as much as it is about the actual encryption method or software that is used. Sloppy code will always have some hole in it that hackers can get through.

Im a huge believer of parental control! There is just too many unaceptable things in the world that as a parent I cannot let me children be exposed to. Being a older I remember the good old days when there was no cable, no internet, no cell phone texting, etc. I think that teens these days are who they are because of being subjected to these bad things. I do believe in what your saying here and approve of your opinion. Keep on spreading the word! Thank you
