Supporting
both Master/Session and DUKPT key management methods—one
at a time or simultaneously—the PINpad 2000 provides
comprehensive security for debit card transactions.
An integral part of the PIN encryption process, effective key management is essential to protecting the customer's PIN against intrusion or corruption. That's why VeriFone designed the PINpad 2000 to take advantage of both Master/Session and DUKPT (derived unique key per transaction) key management methods.
Used worldwide, the Master/Session method employs master keys and working "session" keys to ensure the integrity of debit card transactions. The DUKPT key management method adds an extra level of security by deriving a unique key for every debit transaction. This frees processors from maintaining extensive key records on each merchant, streamlining deployment and inventory management.
Because the PINpad 2000 supports both methods, users needn't purchase new hardware if their key management requirements change. The PINpad 2000 also supports MAC (Message Authentication Code), a technique that protects the debit transaction data from accidental or fraudulent tampering during its transfer to the host. And the PINpad 2000 is compatible with VeriFone's PINpad 201 and 301 applications, saving the expense of application upgrades.
Easy Operation
The PINpad 2000 encourages debit card use. Consumers slide
their own cards through its built-in magnetic-stripe reader
when making a purchase, so they feel more in control of the
transaction.
They also feel more confident—the correct amount is clearly presented on the easy-to-read display, and audio and visual signs tell them when an entry is accepted. What's more, consumers take comfort in knowing that they're entering their PINs in complete confidentiality.
Efficient Deployment
For efficient deployment and cost savings, you can use
VeriFone's MKIXOR™software to inject the PINpad 2000
for Master/Session or DUKPT key management. If both key types
have been injected, you can easily reset the PINpad 2000 on
site when you switch from one method of key management to
another.
