Four decades of trust, security, and innovation

In 1984, Cryptera began as a provider of secure payment terminals in Denmark, helping businesses transition from signed checks to card and PIN-based transactions. To address concerns about digital security, we pioneered the Encrypting PIN Pad (EPP)—a tamper-protected device that safeguarded PIN codes through encryption.

As digital transactions expanded, so did security requirements. Over the past 40+ years, Cryptera has evolved into a global leader in security, supplying PCI-certified EPPs for ATMs and unattended payments while developing expertise in encryption, key management, and hardware security.

Today, we apply our deep-rooted payment security knowledge to protect sensitive data, digital transactions and connected devices. From secure key management to device authentication, our solutions help businesses stay ahead of cyber threats—building on a legacy of innovation, trust, and uncompromising security.
