The updated release reads:
KAL PUBLISHES WHITEPAPER “TPMS ARE THE ROOT OF ALL SECURITY: NO TPM = NO SECURITY”
Market-leading
ATM software company KAL has announced the immediate availability of a
whitepaper that provides an in-depth analysis regarding securing ATMs to
the maximum possible extent.
Clearly,
keeping ATMs secure is essential. ATM networks are responsible for
millions of dollars of cash and are a potential entry point to a bank’s
internal systems that have the power to transfer large amounts of money
around the world.
In
this whitepaper, KAL’s CEO Aravinda Korala says that TPMs are the “core
root of trust” of computing systems and that “TPMs must be deployed
correctly in order to fully secure ATM networks”.
TPMs
are tiny semiconductor devices that are embedded inside all PCs and are
sometimes implemented inside the CPU itself. TPMs are a secure vault
for encryption keys and the core root of trust that enables computer
networks to be fully locked down. TPMs have been shipped inside PCs and
laptops for a long time, but they are often not deployed fully in bank
ATM networks.
This
paper’s goal is to educate and enlighten the ATM community regarding
TPM-based security and change the situation. It examines what banks must
do when designing their ATM security architecture and how the industry
needs to leverage the TPM to lockdown the hardware, software and the
network.
Explaining
why KAL believes it is important to publish this whitepaper now,
Aravinda says: “ATMs deliver cash to the world. The goal is for
everyone, everywhere to have safe and secure access to cash and to lock
down the networks used to deliver that cash as tightly as possible. The
TPM can make that a reality.”
