Rubean and CCV, in partnership with Intertrust and Riscure, announced the launch of a jointly developed contactless payment application that transforms Android handsets running 8.0 Oreo or later into contactless payment terminals, supporting PIN entry with no additional hardware.

"Combining whiteCryption, our world-class application shielding for zero-trust environments, with Riscure's penetration testing and certification, has brought down barriers for Rubean and CCV to deliver streamlined payment capabilities to the market."

"The challenge of delivering a software-only solution has revolved around protecting the confidentiality and integrity of payment account data on consumer-grade mobile phones and tablets," said Hermann Geupel, chief executive officer at Rubean.

"Using smartphones as payment terminals means security is crucial," added Tim Hartog, Director of Mobile Payments at Riscure.

"A collaborative effort with Rubean and CCV through the development and certification process leveraged our powerful expertise and track record in mobile-payment security. PhonePOS makes optimal use of best-in-class software security to protect the solution, including secure PIN-entry through hardware-backed TEE technology."
