Hypercom Corporation announced that its HyperSafe Remote Key System (HRKS) has successfully completed more than 250,000 injections.
âHRKS is the leader in remote key injections for retailers. Prominent, globally recognized merchants are embracing Hypercomâs innovative solution and they are delighted with the results. Merchants representing the full panoply of U.S. retailers increasingly recognize the time and cost savings inherent resulting from Hypercomâs HyperSafe Remote Key System,â said Heidi Goff, President and Managing Director, The Americas, Hypercom Corporation.
âHypercomâs remote key injection system is incredibly convenient. It completely eliminates the costs and disruptions incurred with traditional secure room key injections and streamlines the entire process. No one has to swap out their terminals, ship units back and forth or incur any down time,â said Matt Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, Mercury Payment Systems. âThe faster you can help your customers, the better. Hypercomâs remote key injection lets you do just that.â
âWe are thrilled with the response in the U.S., are ramping this up globally, and have the potential to remotely inject an installed base of more than 800,000 Optimum payment terminals. HRKS streamlines the entire key injection process for retailers. It is a well proven and widely implemented product that lets merchants expedite migration to 3DES and eliminate shipping their terminals off-site,â said T.K. Cheung, Vice President, Global Quality and Security, Hypercom Corporation.
âHypercomâs HRKS is the gold standard for remote key injection. Others will undoubtedly introduce their own variants, and while imitation is the highest form of flattery, savvy business professionals will opt for the proven leader over a wanna-be,â said Mr. Cheung.
Hypercomâs HyperSafe Remote Key System is the industryâs foremost standards-based remote key injection product that allows retailers to quickly and securely initiate on-site, in-store payment terminal key injection at the point-of-sale. The system offers a fast and highly secure alternative to the industryâs traditional secure room key injection process.
HRKS eliminates the need for off-site secure room key injection by incorporating PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) to securely distribute symmetric 3DES keys. HRKS meets ANSI x9.24 and Visa PIN Security Guidelines for remote key management, and is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and X509 compliant.
Hypercomâs HyperSafe Remote Key System was awarded the globally prestigious Sesame Award in November at Cartes 2009. The Sesame Awards represent an unchallenged seal of approval for innovation, and are regarded as the global standard for card manufacturers and related industries.
HRKS is available with Hypercomâs Optimum product line, including the T4200 countertop and M4200 mobile payment terminals, M4100 (âThe Bladeâ), and L4100, L4150 and L4250 multilane terminals installed globally since 2004.
