Important security factors in electronic payment software
A secure electronic financial transaction that is being processed with electronic payment
software has to meet the following requirements:
- Use encryption and decryption technology. During encryption process the original text is changed into ciphertext, which is decrypted by the receiver and transformed into original binary form.
- Check privacy of communication so they cannot be changed during transmission
- Verify client and server information
Many electronic payment software processors use secure socket layer (SSL) that is the standard security technology for establishing encrypted link between web server that processes the payment and a browser where the information is entered. When customer enters secure area of a website (https) to make payment, the browser retrieves the SSL Certificate and checks its validity. If the certificate has expired, the browser displays a warning to the end user.
SSL technology is open source that has been used to process electronic transactions over the web, however it has gone under attack of hackers who get access to the data during 
transmission. The bug is known as the “Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL” and “POODLE Bug”. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet.
SSL 3.0 was introduced in 1996 and nearly 95% of web browsers is this security protocols. The usage of Hotspots, public Wi-Fi, makes this attack a real problem. This type of attack falls into the “Man-in-the-middle” category.
CheckPlusCFO is a desktop application that is installed on the server and does not connect to the internet to retrieve information. It is housed on the end-user servers and is not vulnerable to Open SLL bugs. Printech Global Secure Payment Solutions protects its clients by constantly monitoring possible breaches in security and improving electronic payment software.
