Abstract:
1. An interface module for providing an electrical interface between a security module and a host device, said interface module comprising: a housing; and an electronic component disposed within the housing, the electronic component having at least one contact configured to make electrical contact with a corresponding contact on the security module; wherein the housing has a slot formed therein, the slot being sized and shaped to allow the security module to be inserted therethrough, the housing further comprising a movable slot shield for substantially attenuating through propagation of electromagnetic interference generated inside the housing or generated outside the housing, said movable slot shield being made from electrically conductive epoxy, the movable slot shield being configured to allow passage of the security module through the slot such that the contact of the electronic component contacts the corresponding contact on the security module; wherein at least one pathway extending from a point where the electrical contact is made is covered by alternate layers of one of non-conducting and conducting adhesives, non-conducting and conducting tapes, non-conducting and conducting resins or non-conducting and conducting epoxies.
