User:Wkussmaul/PIN Entry Device

A numeric keypad for entry of a numeric Personal Identification Number, or PIN.

While the term can refer to any device whose purpose is limited to PIN entry, as for example the PIN entry portion of an automated teller machine or point of sale terminal that requires a PIN to complete a transaction, it more commonly refers to a device that consists exclusively of a PIN entry keypad and a means of connection to a very secure cryptographic key management device such as a Hardware Security Module (HSM).
