PIN Entry

Definitions

1. The process or interface through which a user enters a personal identification number to authenticate a transaction, device, or account. PIN entry security involves trusted keypads, tamper resistance, shoulder-surfing protections, and safe handling of the entered secret.

   In plain English: The act or interface of typing a PIN code for authentication.

   Example: "The payment terminal failed compliance because the PIN entry path did not meet the required tamper-resistance standards."
