Re: Anyone have a PCI/DSS 3.1 Compliant Unattended Payment Terminal Solution?

[David Sheryn <dsheryn () LONDON EDU>]

Hi,

Like Kevin, I'm not a qualified ISA, but my understanding of the situation is as follows:

"If the payment page is securely hosted, and the CDN is properly protected, then a kiosk machine on your network is no 
different from a student user a computer at home to make the same payment."

The difference is that if the payment is solicited by your organisation AND you run the equipment on which you solicit 
the payment (or at least if your organisation 'advertises' or 'notifies' that you are providing equipment for the 
purpose of making a payment) then it is *that* which puts the kiosk into scope for your PCI compliance. The other key 
difference is that the student's own PC is likely to only have their own CHD going through it, whereas your kiosk is 
likely to have multiple people's CHD going through it, making it a more fruitful place to attack.

"This kiosk would have to be pretty tightly controlled to ensure no physical or software key loggers are installed, and 
routinely malware/virus scanned. I'd lock it down with GPO or a specialized software to ensure integrity."

Absolutely.  Or rebuild it every night with a known clean image?

"I assume there are other machines on your network where employees are able to enter CC#, isn't this the same basic 
concept?"

If employees are able to enter CHD (CC#) on a customer's behalf, then all of the infrastructure touched by the CHD, and 
everything connected directly to it, is in scope for PCI compliance.  Card Holder Data is very toxic, from a PCI 
compliance perspective... :-/

Mandi,

While admittedly no a PCI expert, I think I know it pretty well.  I'm a bit confused as to what it is you are looking 
for.  If the payment page is securely hosted, and the CDN is properly protected, then a kiosk machine on your network 
is no different from a student user a computer at home to make the same payment.

This kiosk would have to be pretty tightly controlled to ensure no physical or software key loggers are installed, and 
routinely malware/virus scanned.
I'd lock it down with GPO or a specialized software to ensure integrity.

I assume there are other machines on your network where employees are able to enter CC#, isn't this the same basic 
concept?

I guess I'm missing the part of PCI you are looking to satisfy aside from those listed above?

We have a strong desire by administration to provide a payment terminal/kiosk for students to may payments.  We have 
always had issues providing a compliant kiosk, and in fact have stripped them out of our environment because we don’t 
have the manpower to maintain it.

Is anyone using (or know of) hardware/service to outsource this functionality?

Thanks,
mandi
