Richard,
According to WP, as part of the EMV program, they are aggressively rolling
out new devices to replace all old equipment in the field. They expect this
to be completed by the end of the year.


Thanks for the additional data.  I understand that there are shipping
companies that can deliver even tens of thousands of devices in less than a
year, even less than a month :)

I'm being glib, but I do hope that WP will execute this transition with all
deliberate speed.  The renewal discussions will not get easier as time goes
by.  You can see that this group is already pretty grumpy.

They have already moved a large number of devices to support SHA-2.
Again, per my previous post, the existing equipment are not "Worldpay
terminals", rather equipment from many different suppliers, with various
combinations of software/firmware. I'm not trying to justify it, just
presenting the data.

I would as well, and I would also be interested in what Worldpay is doing
to migrate to SHA-2. Hopefully they or Symantec can comment here.
