CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Trusted Security Solutions Inc., provider of secure ATM key-management solutions, has launched its A98-C Card Services Module. The module is designed to help card issuers streamline card-production operations, while adhering with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
 
The A98-C is a factory or field-installable module of the A98 family of ATM key management solutions. A self-contained application providing support for basic payment card functions, the A98-C is designed for card issuers that prepare their own magnetic-stripe cards and PINs. The A98-C connects directly to the serial port of an embosser to create cards for "instant issue" or custom-batch processing.
 
Additionally, the A98-C attaches to a laser (or similar) printer to securely print PIN mailers. Both the embosser and the PIN mailer printer are driven directly from a serial port on the A98-C integrated cryptographic unit. The calculation of CVV1, CVV2, IBM3624 PIN, VISAPVV PIN, and offsets for bridging from one PAN to another for the same PIN, is performed entirely within the cryptographic unit. The information is then transferred directly to the embosser or PIN-mailer printer.
 
"This new functionality is a natural addition for the A98 system," said Dennis "Abe" Abraham, president of Trusted Security Solutions. "One of the more interesting features of the A98-C is our desktop interface. We designed an easy-to-use view into the A98-C to allow authorized card production personnel a high level of ease of use while setting up and monitoring jobs - a key benefit that helps increase efficiency."
 
Alaska Option, a full-service EFT network, was the first firm to implement the A98-C Card Services Module.
 
"Our production staff is extremely pleased at the ease of implementation and the assurance of the product's application of industry best practices regarding our customer's encryption keys and sensitive data," said Megan Poulson, Alaska Option's technical services manager.
