The Microsoft Windows environment offers many benefits to developers, CreditCall has recognised this in the development of EmvX, our EMV Level 2 Kernel for Windows and Windows CE. Using the Microsoft COM architecture EmvX offers a simple and rapid method of adding EMV Level 2 functionality to a payment application.
To ensure that EmvX can be used in a wide variety of terminal configurations it has been created as a toolkit of EMV functions that can be called in the correct order to enable an EMV Level 2 transaction to take place. All the external functions such as the online authorisation and PIN pad interfaces are provided in the form of drivers. A number of these drivers are already available but in the event that a suitable one is not available, driver templates can be provided.
As the cost of ownership is one of the key factors in the development of an EMV Level 2 Kernel, all the elements that change over time have been designed to enable this to be executed as simply as possible. For example, EmvX stores its configuration in the Windows registry so that it can be simply updated using a script that can be completed locally or remotely. The same is also true of the CA Public Keys used for data authentication.
EmvXCE is the Windows CE version of EmvX and offers developers implementing Chip and PIN in this environment the same benefits as EmvX. Due to its limited system dependencies, EmvXCE will work with any version of Windows CE, irrespective of the hardware platform, and provides a simple method of adding EMV Level 2 functionality to a payment system.
The EmvX Toolkit fully supports a variety of data authentication, configuration, CVM methods and other special features within the EMV Level 2 version 4.3 specification.
