Abstract
Various aspects of the disclosure generally relate to security for a credit card processing reader. Part of security for a reader is a secure cover having a trace mesh to discourage drilling through the cover. The mesh may be connected to one or more landing areas on the cover. The landing area has electrical pads with trace routing that provides tamper protection for the landing area.
Claims20
A cover comprising:
- a non-conducting base;
- a plurality of landing areas coupled to the base, each landing area including a first and a second exposed electrical pads each having a length of not more than 2 mm and a width of not more than 1.5 mm, a first trace electrically coupled to the first electrical pad at a first connection point, a second trace electrically coupled to the second electrical pad at a second connection point, the first connection point being directly between the first electrical pad and the second electrical pad;
- and
- a conductive mesh coupled to the base and directly between the plurality of landing areas, the mesh including a third trace and a fourth trace.

- a plurality of landing areas coupled to the base, each landing area including a first and a second exposed electrical pad, each having a length of not more than 2 mm and a width of not more than 1.5 mm, a first trace electrically coupled to the first electrical pad at a first connection point, a second trace electrically coupled to the second electrical pad at a second connection point, a second length established by measuring from the second connection point along the second trace to a point at which the second trace is further from the second electrical pad than the first trace, a first length established by measuring along the first trace from a point at which the first trace is closer to the second electrical pad than the second length to a point at which the first trace is further from the second electrical pad than the second length, the first length being greater than the second length;
- and
- a mesh coupled to the base and directly between the plurality of landing areas, the mesh including a third trace and a fourth trace.

A cover comprising:
- a non-conducting planar base;
- a plurality of landing areas coupled to the base, each landing area including a first and a second electrical pad spaced apart from each other no more than 150 micrometers, each electrical pad having four sides and elevated from the base, the first and second electrical pads being electrically isolated from each other and surrounded by a first trace, the first trace being adjacent to and surrounding the first electrical pad on at least two sides, with no intervening conductive material between the first trace and the first electrical pad, the first trace being electrically isolated from the first electrical pad;
- and
- a mesh coupled to the base and directly between the plurality of landing areas, the mesh including a third trace and a fourth trace.
