SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SECURE LOCALLY-BASED BOOT DISK ENCRYPTION KEY
A system and method for operating a terminal such as an automated teller machine or other type of self-service terminal having a primary partition of a hard disk encrypted with a disk encryption key (DEK). At the initial installation and after every boot, a pre-boot manager encrypts the DEK with a new key encryption key (KEK) and then splits the encrypted DEK into a plurality of encrypted DEK parts. The pre-boot manager next stores the plurality of encrypted DEK parts in randomized storage locations on an unallocated portion of a hard disk and encrypts a list of the randomized storage locations of the plurality of encrypted DEK parts with the KEK and storing the encrypted list in a location on the unallocated portion of the hard disk. Finally, the pre-boot manager stores the KEK, optionally in an obfuscated format, in a location on the unallocated portion of the hard disk.

Payment card slot tampering at a transaction terminal is detected in real time. One or more images from one or more cameras are analyzed. The camera(s) is/are focused overhead of the terminal on an area adjacent to and in front of a card slot for a card reader of the terminal. The images are analyzed for determining whether hands of arms for an operator of the terminal are performing actions that indicate the operator may be attempting to install a card skimmer/shimmer into the card slot and/or attempting to remove an existing skimmer/shimmer from the card slot. When card slot tampering event is detected at the terminal a variety of automated actions are processed, such as shutting down the card reader, shutting down the terminal, confiscating any payment card inserted into the card slot, notifying a financial institution, and/or notifying legal authorities.

Monitoring and predicting physical force attacks on transaction terminals
Visual features of a vehicle, a vehicle's orientation with respect to a transaction terminal, and an individual associated with the vehicle are derived from video captured of the terminal and a surrounding area of the terminal. Additional information associated with brute force attacks in a location associated with the terminal are obtained as additional features. The visual features and the additional features are provided as input to a trained Machine-Learning Model (MLM) and the MLM provides as output a confidence value representing a prediction as to whether the current vehicle and the current individual are potentially about to engage in a brute force attack on the terminal. When the confidence value exceeds a threshold value, enhanced feature detection is enabled on the video, external systems are notified, and an incident packet of information is assembled.
