Talk:Chip Authentication Program

Merge of PINsentry

 * Vote for. The PINsentry page seems unnecessary given the detail here. Jjasi (talk) 13:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree. PINsentry describes the exact same thing, but is a much less well informed stub. PINsentry is just the marketing name of one single UK bank for the Chip Authentication Program. Their readers are exactly the same as the many other CAP readers that lots of banks are rolling out at the moment. They are fully compatible and interchangeable. No need to have a separate article for each bank's marketing term for the exact same technology. Markus Kuhn (talk) 13:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support merger - no need for separate article for Barclays. Talk Islander 13:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Disagree The PINsentry system has specific details that would be lost in any merger Little Professor (talk) 12:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Such as? Any specific differences between systems can easily be mentioned in this article, but it still doesn't warrent it's own article. Talk Islander 12:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree. PINsentry is just Barclay's branded implementation of CAP.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.47.220.230 (talk) 14:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 4 say merge, 1 says not. If nobody objects within the next 48 hours I'll summarise the merge proposal as a vote to merge. Jjasi (talk) 19:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge done. Didn't copy anything across from the old article as it didn't seem to add anything to that already here. Jjasi (talk) 08:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Wrong page name?
Isn't that "Chip Authentication Protocol" instead of "Chip Authentication Program"? For example, I found this page which talks about Chip Authentication Protocol. Should we rename that page?

NatWest
NatWest also uses this and it seems their card reader is compatible with Nationwide's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yanson (talk • contribs) 16:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's also compatible with Barclays'. 86.22.78.112 (talk) 01:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe any reader can be used to read any card. (Regardless of who supplied the card/reader.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.199.224.151 (talk) 21:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * yes, APACS consortia members decided to create a standard hardware specification for the reader so that any UK card could be used with any branded reader. The NatWest/RBS reader (manufactured by Xiring), e.g. the RBS/NatWest branded readers have the Identify and Sign buttons that are not used by the bank.

Academic paper describing UK CAP protocol
I am a co-author of an academic paper (published at Financial Cryptography 2009), describing the operation of the UK CAP variant. Contributors to the article may wish to incorporate some of the information it offers. SJMurdoch (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Done, as of 2009-06-30. - quixoticgeek —Preceding undated comment added 23:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC).

"Incompatibility" section
The "Incompatilility" section states that "CAP readers are generally not compatible with cards from differing issuing banks."

This is rubbish. You can use a card issued by any UK bank in any UK bank's card reader. They are all compatible.

Please update with current status
Now it’s 2021, and it seems to me that this technology is being discontinued by UK banks.

Could someone knowledgeable please consider updating the article?

(My Co-op bank online banking has discontinued use of the card reader. Friends claim that they have never seen one. Banks seem to send one-time codes to customers’ mobile phones instead.)
 * Now it's 2022, and I still use a card reader to log on to my bank and verify transactions. Also use a Barclays PINsentry card with my Barclaycard.
 * Of course the use of PIN numbers to mobiles and banking Apps on smart phones is growing. CatNip48 (talk) 19:25, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
