Visa said Friday it created a program that will allow mobile-phone manufacturers, point-of-sale terminal makers and other companies to more quickly certify their products under the card company's security standards.
The companies used an unspecified infrared-equipped Palm device and a Toshiba Libretto, which beamed requests for check authorizations to a point-of-sale terminal, in this case a VeriFone Tranz 330 that was retrofitted with an infrared device from ACTiSYS and a custom cable from CrossCheck.
