John..I appreciate your thoughts..however..
The credit card reader may or may not be typical with its own data collection.
IMO..it will incorporate into the storage hardware encryption...and that will not be typical...it will be managed utilizing input-output encryption as well.
The hardware encryption is not only for premium post production encrypted files...but for other content ...it would only make sense to utilize it for CC data protection.
It`s not an off the shelf novelty item
``IFWencor could find the same level of studio approved security from another ODM house,``
Remains to be seen...however, who ever comes up with an idea..will not give it away to WENCOR....and with tech as such...production will be handled accordingly.
If a company ie..WENCOR were to seek that much control...they would have to do it with their own tools.
I can not see a company giving away technology...
For this issue liabilities exist at different levels.
