Incorporate TSS sticks in point of sale systems

A TSE stick (TSE = technical security device) is a certified storage and signature module designed to prevent tampering in electronic cash register systems. It records every transaction in an unalterable manner and provides it with a forgery-proof signature. The TSE stick thus meets the legal requirements of the German Cash Register Security Regulation (KassenSichV) and ensures that sales data remains traceable and audit-proof at all times.

TSE/TSS Management

To prevent data from electronic recording systems such as cash registers, point of sale or ERP systems being manipulated, operators are required to use a technical security system. Such a TSS saves and stores recordings according to the legal requirements.

TSS modules can for example be incorporated into USB sticks in recording systems. Especially systems having multiple checkouts, some of which may be distributed over different locations, require operators to not only simply integrate the TSS sticks but also to enable management centrally, simply and securely.

Integrate TSE Stick via USB device server

With a USB Server, also called a USB Device Server, you integrate all TSS sticks together at a central location. Here the relatively expensive sticks are easily accessible for maintenance and replacement and secure against theft or manipulation. With USB hubs, up to eight TSE sticks can be operated on each USB Server from Wiesemann and Theis.

Implementation is quite simple: Set up the USB Server once, incorporate the TSS stick into the respective register via USB Redirector, and use your checkout software as usual.

Virtualized systems - cash registers as thin clients

The USB Server can be used even in more complex scenarios, such as when the checkouts are realized only as thin clients without dedicated USB hardware and the register software is running on a virtualized Windows server. In this case the USB Redirector can incorporate the TSS stick on the virtualized system. A direct connection from checkout system to USB server is then no longer necessary.
