Account Data Protection
The device always encrypts account data from the MSR using 112-bit TDEA, 128-bit AES, or 256-bit AES algorithms with X9.24 DUKPT key management. This device does not support any mechanisms such as whitelists or SRED disable that would allow the data to be sent out unencrypted. The programmers need to follow the guidance provided in [3]. Use of the device with key-management systems not described in this policy will invalidate the PCI PTS POI v6.2 approval of the device.
Algorithms Supported
The device includes the following cryptographic algorithms:
AES-128/256
TDEA-128
ECDSA (P256 and P521)
RSA2048
SHA-256
Key Management
The device implements the original AES/TDEA DUKPT as its only key management method. Use of any other method will invalidate PCI approval. DUKPT derives a new unique key for every transaction. For more details, see [5] and [6].

Key Loading
The device does not support manual or plaintext cryptographic key entry. Only specialized tools, compliant with key management requirements and cryptographic methods, specifically [6] and [7]. On the production line, the ANSI X9.143 format can be used for key loading by an HSM after mutual authentication. Use of any other methods will invalidate PCI approval.
Key Replacement
Keys should be replaced with new keys whenever the original key is known or suspected to have been compromised, and whenever the time deemed feasible to determine the key by exhaustive attack has elapsed, as defined in [4].
