Final Discontinuation Notice

G531-1000-0000 ENHANCED CARD DRIVER

RUNTIME LICENSE

Discontinuation Rationale
‘Jitter’ or Enhanced Card Drive (ECD) was a solution offered by NCR as an initial countermeasure to card
skimming. Jitter operates by vibrating the card motion as the card is drawn into and out of the ATM with the
intent to prevent a clean swipe of the card, as required by a skimmer. Since the time of the introduction of
Jitter, criminal techniques and technology have improved such that the analog waveform of a jittered swipe
can be filtered to remove the effects of the jitter and reveal the card data. This vulnerability has the effect of
compounding the existing problems of jitter; namely that the jitter only applies to the CVV1 portion of the
magnetic strip due to the ATM dimensions, and that sometimes ATM users will pull their card smoothly out
of the ATM. Jitter also places a great wear on the card reader motor thus reducing its lifespan.
For these reasons, NCR no longer advocates Jitter as an effective anti skimming countermeasure. At best,
jitter has a mild deterrent effect only. The minimum requirement for skimming protection on an NCR ATM is
SPS,
configured with skimmer detect and anti-tamper monitoring.
