Abstract
In some examples, a mobile card reader includes a card interface to read information from a card, an interface to enable the mobile card reader to communicate with a mobile device, and a processor configured to send security related information of the mobile card reader to an application executing on the mobile device. The security related information may be for transmission by the mobile device to a remote server system. The mobile card reader may receive, from the application, an indication that the application has been validated by the remote server system based on validation of the security related information of the mobile card reader and security related information of the application. In response, the mobile card reader generates a secure session key with which to carry out encrypted communication between the application and the mobile card reader.
