Introduction
ID TECH iMag is a snap-on magnetic stripe reader designed to work with iPhone and
iPod Touch. iMag Pro works with all Apple mobile devices including the iPad. The
reader delivers superior reading performance with the ability to encrypt sensitive card
data. The data encryption process prevents card holder information from being accessed
when the data is stored or in transit, so the data remains secure from end to end. The
reader fully supports TDES and AES data encryption using DUKPT key management
method.
