Yes – Ingenico’s biometric payment data is designed to be highly secure. The biometric template is stored only on the terminal in an encrypted form and never leaves the device, so even if the terminal is compromised the raw biometric cannot be extracted. End‑to‑end encryption and strict PCI‑DSS compliance protect the payment credentials that are unlocked by the biometric check. Under‑the‑hood, Ingenico’s key‑injection and cryptographic key‑management processes ensure that all keys used for encryption are generated, injected and stored in a tamper‑resistant hardware security module. The Palm‑Vein solution specifically highlights how the biometric scan is performed locally and how the terminal’s built‑in anti‑skimming sensors and secure firmware further guard against fraud.
