Does the Clover Mini with a semi-integration have point to point encryption or is it only end to end encryption?
Can you elaborate as to which service you are referring? The Mini's card processing? The connection between the Mini and the point of sale? If the latter, what type of connection is it?
Since P2PE and E2EE are PCI / payment industry terminology I'm going to first answer as if you are asking taking credit card payments. Clover devices are PCI compliant use E2EE. Card data is encrypted at the card and is only decrypted at the payment gateway.
The above has little to do with semi integration. The reading and processing of the payment card is done on the Mini and the details of which (even if encrypted E2E) are not exposed to the point of sale driving the Mini.
If you were framing this in terms of the non-Payment card related communication between the Mini and the point of sale:
Semi-integration over USB is not encrypted. It's assumed the merchant has physical control over the cable. Semi-integration over LAN uses TLS mutual authentication. Semi-integration over cloud uses secure web sockets that also use TLS mutual authentication. I guess you'd classify those last 2 as P2PE. The client cert used in mutual auth makes it much more secure than a regular TLS connection though.
