MagTek Inc., a world class provider of card readers, cheque readers and scanners, PIN Pads, card issuing systems, and MagnePrint® credential authentication technology introduces MagneSafe I-65, a secure card reader for Unattended Payment applications.
MagneSafe I-65 is designed to help merchants meet PCI DSS requirements when processing card data from unattended terminals such as kiosks, vending machines, ticket machines, etc.
"OEM's are seeing increasing demand from merchants to ensure that their terminals are 'PCI Ready'. However, data encryption and key management issues can complicate the sale of unattended terminals and integration into merchant's payment gateways" says Steve Poulston, Managing Director, Magtek Europe.
The MagneSafe I-65 is designed to allow the sale of unattended terminals as 'PCI Ready', removing the complexities of encryption and key management from the OEM. From the moment the card is read, card data on-board the MagneSafe I-65 is encrypted using open-standards encryption via 3DES/DUKPT, protecting against data theft and internal terminal data breaches.
From the factory, the MagneSafe I-65 can be configured to transmit data to the host is 'in the clear', making integration, testing, acquirer certification and delivery of the terminal easy. Once the terminal is ready for production or installed at a merchant location, the MagneSafe I-65 can be securely re-configured to offer point-to-point encryption as part of an overall strategy by the merchant to meet PCI DSS requirements.
