1.2
Protection for All Points Within the Payment Infrastructure
In addition to meeting the requirements established by PCI PTS v3.x, which incorporates SRED features,
DynaPro has MagnePrint, a proven embedded security feature that authenticates the debit, credit, or gift
card and its encoded track data, rendering counterfeit or cloned cards useless. So even if cardholder data
is acquired for the purpose of manufacturing counterfeit cards, such cards can be detected, the transaction
can be declined, and the criminal can be prosecuted. The MagnePrint feature provides a valuable defense
to protect the merchant, the acquirer, the processor, the card issuer, and ultimately the consumer.
1.3
Securing Personal Cardholder Data
DynaPro immediately encrypts data at the point of swipe to safeguard personal information encoded on
the magnetic stripe. The encryption takes place within an encapsulated magnetic read head as the card is
swiped, eliminating the chance of intercepting clear text data. DynaPro’s data encryption scheme uses the
industry standard TDEA (3DES) algorithm, 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.
1.4
Security and Ease of Integration by Design
In addition to securing clear text card data, DynaPro 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 supports Device Authentication so the retailer, processor, and acquirer have the confidence of
knowing a rogue reader was not substituted and provides transparency to the processor, acquirer, or ISO if
the device is changed. Furthermore, it 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 PINpad terminal.
1.5
Remote Services
DynaPro supports secure remote key injection, eliminating the need to return the device in the event a
new key is required.
1.6
Physical and Electronic Security
DynaPro’s enclosure and its associated electronics have been designed to form a Tamper Resistant
Security Module (TRSM). The covers are securely attached and incorporate sensing circuits to detect if
any attempt is made to open the device. Internal spaces within DynaPro have been minimized to reduce
the possibility of unauthorized modifications.
In addition, any attempt to penetrate or modify DynaPro electronically causes the device to permanently
erase its stored encryption keys, after which DynaPro ceases to function.
1.7
Liquid Crystal Display
The device incorporates a color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) capable of showing static or animated
messages.
1.8
10-Digit Numeric Pad
During normal operation the numeric keypad is used for PIN entries. An audio tone provides feedback
when entering the PIN digits. There are three additional keys that may be used during a transaction: an
ENTER button (green), a CLEAR button (yellow), and a CANCEL button (red).
