PINpad 2000
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.
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.
A
n 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.
