Thales payShield 9000 is a hardware security (HSM) payment module that provides the cryptographic protection required for ATM, point of sale (POS), credit and debit card issuance, and processing Of transactions. Encryption and management functionality meets or exceeds the operational and security requirements of the major international card system, including American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa. It is deployed as an external peripheral for mainframes and servers running card issuance applications, mobile platform provisioning, and payment processing software for the electronic payment industry.
The Thales e-Security Key Management Device (KMD) for payment HSMs is a compact tamper-resistant security module (TRSM) that enables keys to be formed securely from separate components in a manner that is compliant with relevant security standards including X9 TR-39, ANSI X9.24-1 and PCI PIN Security. With its touch screen graphical user interface, the KMD is simple and intuitive to operate, and is compatible with the full range of Thales payment HSMs including the award-winning payShield 9000. The device configuration and management user interface complies with banking grade security best practices and the installed software is automatically validated for integrity prior to use. Upgrades are supported to meet future functional enhancements and security audit requirements.
DownloadpayShield Manager enables security teams to perform all tasks remote from data centers, reducing costs and delivering greater operational efficiency. payShield Manager is a hardware security module (HSM) management tool specifically designed for the Thales payShield 9000 HSM that operates in both local and remote modes via a standard browser interface. A secure connection to the HSM underpinned by smart card access control enables key management, security configuration and software/license updates to be carried out remotely from the data center.
