𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗹? 🔍 In the EMV card-present payment acceptance, data exchanges between the card and the device (PCI PTS, mPOS, SoftPOS) are managed by a software layer called “EMV Level 2 stack”(EMV stands for Europay Mastercard Visa). EMV Level 2 stack is composed of 2 major components : ▪ The 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆-𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 for contactless acceptance that routes card to device exchanges to the correct contactless kernels, ▪ The 𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗹 that manages the data exchanges following the specifications defined by the payment schemes. Kernels implement the payment schemes’ specifications to ensure the security, interoperability, and compliance of card transactions.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗠𝗩 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 🔍 Payment schemes refer to institutions that define rules, procedures, payment instruments (physical cards, digitalized cards, payment acceptance devices, …) and many more, to ensure payments happens in a secure manner. Payment schemes can be global, like Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay International, American Express, JCB International (Europe) Ltd. or domestic such as GIE Cartes Bancaires CB in France, girocard in Germany, BANCOMAT S.p.A. in Italy, Interac Corp. in Canada, RuPay in India, National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS) in Vietnam, Interswitch Group in Nigeria, etc… Under EMVCo umbrella, payment schemes have agreed on a common specification for contact card-present payment acceptance, however each scheme has defined its own specifications for contactless payment. Regional or Domestic Payment schemes may rely on their own specification, a regional Initiative (like ECPC with CPACE), a white-label specification or an international payment scheme specification. Kernels implement the payment schemes’ specifications to ensure the security, interoperability, and compliance of card transactions.

On March 25, 2024, the smart card celebrates its 50th anniversary! When he died in 2012, Le Point magazine estimated that there were 6 billion smart cards in circulation worldwide. The chips, designed for a variety of uses, are the remarkable invention of a Frenchman, Roland Moreno. They are found not only in bank cards, but also in SIM cards, “Vitale” health cards and public transport cards. The smart card has changed our means of payment forever, and for Moreno, it's his "first useful invention that performs a desirable function, in this case securing money." PS: Let's not forget to mention Michel UGON, the other inventor of the smart card 😉 For French speakers, discover the crazy story of the invention of the smart card and how it revolutionized our daily lives: https://lnkd.in/erqn2fT2
