APPENDIX C: TDES Key Installation
TDES Master Key Installation
Triple - Data Encryption Standard or TDES was designed as a way to strengthen the
security of the master key by upgrading from a 16 bit key to a 32 bit key. In addition to
the required software changes to support the TDES, the specification calls for a pin-pad
to encrypt any data sent between the keypad and the CPU. In this new configuration the
master keys are stored securely within the pin-pad, rather than the mainboard as done
previously.
Hardware Specification:
Mini-Bank 1500™ (color or mono) with EPP (Encrypted Pin Pad)
*All Mini-Bank 1500™ have shipped with TDES capable hardware.
Installation Procedure:
To access the Key Management menu from Host Setup, you’ll need to enter the Secure
Mode Password (parts 1 and 2). See page 3.6 for Secure Mode instructions.
