In today’s connected world, secure payment systems are no longer optional - they’re expected, particularly in unattended indoor and outdoor environments.
Whether it’s paying for EV charging, using a parking meter, or checking out at a retail kiosk, users demand seamless convenience backed by robust security. Behind the scenes, building a payment solution that is reliable, intuitive, and compliant with evolving regulations requires more than just a displays - it calls for advanced technology with security critical components embedded at device level.
Secure by Design:
Hardware-Level Security for Payment Displays
Payment displays are more than just interfaces - they're security critical Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) with integrated capacitive touch, secure microcontrollers, encrypted data buses and firmware authentication.
These technologies ensure sensitive transaction data is handled securely while enabling intuitive, responsive interaction. Whether in a charging station, self-checkout, or parcel locker, touchscreens must now meet rising cybersecurity demands, particularly with the introduction of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
At Anders, we design displays to meet these requirements while also withstanding the realities of outdoor and unattended use.
Security and Compliance at the Core
Protecting Payment Data
Public-facing systems like EV chargers and parking terminals are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks. Our touch displays defend against such threats with:
- Encrypted communication between touchscreen and host via I2C
- Secure messaging protocols
- Software authentication to prevent unauthorised updates
Meeting Regulatory Standards
We ensure compliance with critical frameworks, including:
- AFIR: Mandating credit card payment for EV chargers
- EN303645 / IEC 62443: IoT cybersecurity standards
- ISO15118 / OCPP: Secure communication for EV infrastructure
By staying aligned with these standards, our solutions help businesses remain both compliant and future-proof.
Case Study:
Securing EV Charger Payment Terminals
EV chargers differ from traditional point-of-sale systems by separating the touch controller from the mainboard.
While this design offers flexibility, it introduces unique vulnerabilities in both physical protection and software-interface security.
These include exposure to crypto-analytic attacks, risks of data interception, and physical threats such as vandalism, weather, and wear.
Anders’ Solution: Security at Every Layer
Our display systems safeguard both hardware and software, through:
- Encrypted touch data for secure touchscreen to host communications
- Encrypted configurations and messages, maintaining data integrity
- Authenticated updates, blocking unauthorised software changes
In addition, our touch sensing technology provides unparalleled noise immunity, enabling reliable and accurate multi-touch performance even in harsh, high-interference environments.
Rugged Design for Harsh Environments
Security alone isn’t enough - outdoor payment systems must also deliver uninterrupted performance in challenging conditions.
Reliable Touch Accuracy
- Reliable multi-touch with noise suppression
- Maintains sensitivity through thick protective glass up to 22mm
Built to Withstand the Elements
- IK10-rated to resist vandalism and impacts
- Anti-glare coatings for clear visibility in sunlight
- Fully operational across extreme temperatures and moisture levels
Other Applications for Secure Touch Displays
The same secure, rugged technology used in EV chargers is equally effective across other sectors:
- Smart Parking Systems: Secure, always-on payment interfaces
- Retail and Self-Service Kiosks: Customer-friendly and data-safe
- Parcel and Logistics Terminals: Built for high traffic and harsh use
At Anders Electronics, we don’t just supply displays - we deliver fully engineered solutions tailored to the needs of modern, secure payment environments. From EV chargers to self-service retail, we combine best-in-class touch performance with security and durability that goes beyond the standard.
