Protection for All Points Within the Payment Infrastructure
DynaPro Mini exemplifies engineered design and delivers a PIN encryption device that combines best
practices for mobility and security. The DynaPro Mini uses the MagneSafe Security Architecture (MSA)
and is built for durability.
In addition to meeting the requirements established by PCI PTS v3.x, which incorporates secure reading
and exchange of data (SRED) features, DynaPro Mini uses the
MagneSafe Security Architecture
(MSA), a digital identification and authentication architecture that safeguards consumers and their
personal data. Designed to exceed PCI regulations, MSA leverages strong encryption, secure
tokenization, counterfeit detection, tamper recognition, data relevance and integrity, and dynamic digital
transaction signatures, which together validate and protect the entire transaction and each of its
components.
A key feature of MSA is
MagnePrint
card authentication, a patented, proven technology which reliably
identifies counterfeit credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, ATM cards and ID cards at the point of swipe,
before fraud occurs.
MSA's multi-layer security provides unmatched protection and flexibility for safer online transactions.
1.2.1
Security and Ease of Integration by Design
The MagneSafe Security Architecture also secures clear text card data. DynaPro Mini uses a 32-bit
secure processor which incorporates flexible
data formatting and masking
capabilities for compatibility
with existing software and payment applications, eliminating the need for recertification.
DynaPro Mini supports
Device Authentication
so the retailer, processor, and acquirer have the
confidence of knowing that a rogue reader has not been substituted, and provides transparency to the
processor, acquirer, or ISO if the device is changed. It also supports
Mutual Authentication
through a
secure challenge/response sequence, which eliminates both the potential of being redirected to an
illegitimate site and the ability to substitute a compromised PIN encryption device.
1.2.2
Read Head Security Features
DynaPro Mini contains a MagneSafe card reader that
encrypts card data at the point of swipe
to
safeguard personal information encoded on the magnetic stripe. The reader incorporates MagTek’s 3-
track encrypting IntelliHead, a magnetic read head with encapsulated and securely-potted electronics that
reads, decodes, and encrypts card data within the head, eliminating the chance of intercepting clear text
data. This secures the magnetic stripe data at the earliest point in the transaction chain—the initial swipe.
DynaPro Mini’s data encryption scheme uses the industry standard
TDEA (3DES)
algorithm and
DUKPT key management
, which offers merchants, processors, issuers, and acquirers the flexibility to
manage decryption services themselves or to outsource, thereby avoiding the risk imposed by unproven,
proprietary encryption algorithms.
In addition, as a card is swiped through the reader, through the use of
MagnePrint
technology the card
can be authenticated immediately, either by Magensa or by another system, to determine whether the card
is counterfeit or has been altered.
The card reader is capable of reading any ISO or AAMVA encoded magnetic stripe data, and includes an
EMV chip card (ICC) reader on the front of the device under the keypad.
