"We spent over $8,000 on our storefront checkout registers and handheld terminals. Now that we want to move away from our high-cost processor, they told us our registers are cryptographically locked to their system, and we have to throw them all in the trash."
You are trapped in a proprietary hardware lock-in. Your payment processor has locked your terminals' software so they cannot communicate with any other bank, forcing you to buy brand-new machines if you want to leave their service.
Proprietary processors configure their terminals with custom-locked secure bootloaders that execute strict Android Verified Boot (AVB) cryptographic checks, rejecting alternative payment software or firmware. Symmetrical decryption keys injected into the secure coprocessor during manufacturing are permanently tied to their acquiring network.
We deploy open-standards, processor-agnostic terminals (PAX/Ingenico) managed via a centralized Terminal Management System. If you ever switch processors, we run a secure Remote Key Injection (RKI) to instantly flash new keys and software over the air, completely preserving your physical hardware assets.
Proprietary hardware lock-in forces catastrophic capital write-offs when migrating processors. VALZOX deploys agnostic hardware standards with Remote Key Injection (RKI) to preserve your physical terminal fleet indefinitely.
