Haven Systmes provide secure Chip & PIN using the latest Ocius Sentinel solution.
What is Ocius Sentinel?
Ocius Sentinel is part of an outsourced managed service provided by Commidea a PCI Level 1 certified payment provider. Ocius Sentinel is a software application that resides on a PIN Pad within a PCI PTS/APACS Common Criteria secure environment providing dual-layer data encryption from the point of card data capture.
Sensitive cardholder data is encrypted by the PIN pad using 128 bit 3DES encryption, utiliszing a unique dynamic key system generated using merchant and transaction specific data elements. This data is then further encrypted using a 2048-bit RSA algorithm key, before being sent to the Point of Sale.
As card data remains fully encrypted throughout the process, and the merchant has no ability to decrypt the data, cardholder information is effectively removed from the merchant's system, significantly reducing the scope and cost of achieving and maintaining the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Cardholder data is only decrypted inside the secure environment of Commmidea's ICP Managed Service prior to transmission to teh acquiring bank.
Ocius Sentinel is the final piece of the jigsaw to provide end to end encryption of cardholder data.
Ocius Sentinel goes beyond compliance, providing a range of additional features , addressing issues such as PED Asset Management, including PED serial number tracking and swap out/power on-off alerts to help thwart physical attacks on PED assets.
