    • Straight forward and to the point!
Good book and a quick read - I was able to drill through it in 5 hours. It was written with an assumption that you have a basic understanding of point-of-sale (POS) systems, which allows the author to get straight to the important material. There were extensive sections of the book that included examples of code and web links to download software so you can learn 'encryption' first-hand, but I felt this material should have been located in an appendix. Nonetheless, the information was consistent with my own knowledge and experience with POS systems and PCI compliance. Likewise, I found the recommendation for a hardware point-to-point encryption (P2PE) to be credible, but it seemed like an all-or-nothing proposition. There are many merchants with systems or vendors that do not yet support P2PE. ... show more

Very high level. If you are looking for "POS hacking for dummies" this is your book. I didn't find a lot of new info but the author did a decent job of explaining the topic.

    • A Bookshelf 'Must Have' for the Retailing Professional
For a retail industry professional, or any business using Point of Sale devices, Mr. Gomzin has written an outstanding summary of the contemporary technical concerns related to POS security. The book is written with a technical flair, yet is well illustrated and notated with enough dialog and appropriate descriptions to cover a broad audience of readers. This book is an essential guide for the current PCI standards, and the expected security accountability of the installed POS. Mr Gomzin has a genuine gift at explaining complex scenarios and sorting out the essential details in a fluid and professional style. This is an important reference book for anyone in the retail technology business and I highly recommend and applaud Mr. Gomzin for his work. I have no doubt this is the first of more books from this talented author. ... show more

I came across this book shortly after starting a new job at a large credit card issuer. My job involves developing/supporting payment authentication capabilities and I wanted to find a book that would provide a good deep dive into payment processing and the risks involved. At work I had access to dozens of technical specs and overview documents to ramp up, but this book took much of that information and condensed/arranged it into a format that was much easier to digest. I would recommend this book to anyone in the payment industry as well as merchants that want to have a better understanding of payment infrastructure and vulnerabilities. ... show more

Mr. Gomzin provides valuable insight into the problems with current point-of-sale systems. If it added anything, I would repeat all the other reviews. The book is as good (or better) as these reviews indicate. Hopefully this book will be a starting point to get retailers to lock down their systems to protect cardholder data. Great book with many references for more in depth research provided through out the whole book. ... show more

I have read the book twice in one weekend. It is full with details and explanation about the vulnerabilities of the point of sale.
