5 Security-relevant Functions
The KOBIL smart card terminals KAAN Standard Plus and SecOVID Reader Plus are
intended for deployment in the customer’s domestic sphere and at non-public work
places. They are explicitly not intended for unsupervised public usage.
The smart card terminals come with several security-relevant functions designed to
protect you as a user. From this perspective it is important for you to verify that the
smart card terminal has not been subject to manipulation.
Please see for yourself that none of the three security labels (

Label
) has been removed or destroyed (
Image 1: Arrangement of Buttons and
Security Labels
).
This is the only way to guarantee that the smart card terminal is
functioning properly. The security labels are printed on a special film, making it
impossible to remove a given label without destroying it. Another security feature is
the special imprint. When exposed to UV light, the lettering “KOBIL” will become
visible. The security labels are designed to protect you as customer against
unauthorized manipulation of the hardware and/or software of the smart card
terminal.

Please make sure before taking any security-relevant functions into operation
that your KOBIL smart card terminal is equipped with a certified firmware for
the purpose. The respective firmware version is identified on the label in the
back of the smart card terminal.
