Bluefin Payment Systems will introduce a PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution.

To face data breaches and cyber fraud increasingly dangerous, multiform and sophisticated, henceforth Bluefin Payment Systems relies on a PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution validated through qualified P2PE assessor, 403 Labs, LLC, in the 4^th quarter of 2013.

For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople may recall that, the PCI P2PE Standard requires a PCI-approved point-of-interaction device
(POI) and HSM (hardware security module) key management; software solutions are not currently eligible for P2PE validation.

According to Bluefin Payment Systems, to date, no U.S.-based company has attained Council validation for a hardware-based P2PE process.

Connectikpeople has discovered that, the P2PE solution is designed to protect credit and debit card data at the point that the card is swiped or typed before it is transmitted through the point of sale (POS) system to the payment provider. The goal of P2PE is to not only reduce the potential for malicious hacking and fraud, but also to reduce or eliminate PCI DSS scope for merchants.

Finally Bluefin’s P2PE solution will interface with the company’s PayConex platform, which provides security features such as tokenization, end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and transparent redirection.
