# Decrypt & Forward

**Magensa Decrypt and Forward (DaF)** is a PCI-DSS certified cloud gateway service that acts as a secure "wrapper," allowing developers to safely deliver payloads of any format to any destination. The service is designed to accept all major payment types, including magstripe, barcode, EMV contact and contactless, NFC mobile wallets such as Apple Pay® and Google Pay™, as well as QR codes, invoicing, gift cards, and unattended payments. 

It is built on the MagneSafe Security Architecture and leverages L3 certified hardware with TDEA or AES encryption and DUKPT key management. The service is certified with major US processors including FIS (WorldPay), Fiserv (FirstData), TSYS, Heartland, NAB (EPX), Elavon, and Chase, and secures transactions for retail, healthcare, restaurant, hospitality, government, education, and transportation industries. By providing a single integration point for multiple processors, DaF allows ISVs, VARs, ISOs, and system integrators to bring products to market faster while simplifying PCI compliance and reducing certification costs. The official MagTek Magensa Decrypt and Forward support page is a central hub containing all the resources you'll need. There you can find product brochures (including the Magensa Decrypt & Forward Services brochure and the MagTek Hardware and Magensa Gateway Solutions Product Catalog), programmer's manuals (including the Magensa Decrypt & Forward v4.0 Web Services API guide), developer guides (including "6 Critical Decisions to Make in an Omni-Channel Development Plan" and "Pursuing L3 Certification"), an FAQ section, and instructional videos.
