The smart card reader is also certified for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3+, which means the SPRx32 complies with the international requirements for smart card/PIN pad readers used with digital signatures.

Jason Schouw vice president, Americas, for SCM Microsystems, says:"Our idea to combine a smart card reader with a PIN pad gives EMV card issuers a way to bring the higher security of PIN protected smart card authentication to their high-risk Internet volume."

In addition to EMV level one, the SPRx32 is also PC/SC compliant as well as Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certified.

SCM also participates in the smart Visa Ready initiative and the MasterCard vendor programme.
