Jeremy Gumbley of CreditCall presented on moving EMV kernels to the cloud to enable more flexible software updates and configurations for point-of-sale terminals.

However, relying on internet connectivity could slow transactions and prevent offline processing. The document also outlines advantages like reduced terminal complexity and easier merchant changes, as well as disadvantages around network reliability issues.
