Open-standard and Industry Proven Triple DES Encryption and DUKPT Key Management
Provide a comprehensive security solution that protects cardholder data. The open platform does not require you to invest in costly, untested, proprietary solutions that can limit your long-term flexibility and options. MagTek secure card reader authenticators and PIN PEDs deliver instant encryption inside the hardware, which is more secure than software. This places only encrypted data into the transaction environment and secures the data while in the systems under test. DUKPT, derived unique key per transaction, delivers a unique key with every swipe, tap, and insertion.
Device Authentication
Protection against rogue devices with secure key injection and mutual authentication between the payment device and the host.
