wherein the at least one magnetic read head is operable to read an account number from a magnetic stripe of a card,
wherein the card reader includes at least one card reader processor,
wherein the at least one card reader processor is operable to encrypt an account number read by the at least one magnetic read head,wherein the plurality of input devices include an encrypting pin pad (EPP),wherein the EPP is operable to receive a personal identification number (PIN) from the user,wherein the EPP includes at least one EPP processor,
wherein the at least one EPP processor is operable to encrypt a user PIN received by the EPP,wherein the machine includes a machine controller,wherein the machine controller comprises at least one computer,wherein the machine controller is in operative connection with the plurality of input devices,wherein the machine controller is operable to cause an account number encrypted by the card reader to be communicated to the EPP,wherein the EPP is operable to
decipher an account number encrypted by the card reader processor, and then
encrypt the deciphered account number,wherein the machine controller is operable to cause at least one message to be sent to a transaction host system including at least one host computer,wherein the at least one message includes
a PIN encrypted by the EPP, and
an account number encrypted by the EPP,wherein the machine controller is operable to cause the cash dispenser to dispense cash in carrying out a cash dispense transaction requested by the user, responsive at least in part to host computer-determined correspondence between the PIN and the account number in the at least one message,wherein the machine controller is operable to cause a financial account corresponding to the account number to be assessed a value associated with an amount of cash dispensed in the cash dispense transaction.

Abstract
A banking system operates responsive to data read from data bearing records. The system includes an automated banking machine comprising a card reader. The card reader includes a movable read head that can read card data along a magnetic stripe of a card that was inserted long-edge first. The card reader includes a card entry gate. The gate is opened for a card that is determined to be properly oriented for data reading. The card reader can encrypt card data, including account data. The machine also includes a PIN keypad. The card reader can send encrypted card data to the keypad. The keypad can decipher the encrypted card data. The keypad can encrypt both deciphered card data and a received user PIN. The card data and the PIN are usable by the machine to authorize a user to carry out a financial transfer involving the account.
