VeriShield Remote Key (VRK) is a solution for automated download and deployment of new encryption keys to POS Devices. The solution enables remote and secure management of key injection. The devices need not change the location; meet the network downtime and the risk of fraud.
VRK system generates Keys in the form of Key Bundles (KBs). The Key Bundle (KB) is a “.zip” (for VX eVo devices) or “.tgz” (for V/OS devices) file that contains one or more Key Payloads (KP).
The VRK Bundle is uploaded to the VHQ system. Once uploaded the Bundle is processed, and the key payloads are extracted and validated against the device serial number and device model. The VRK Bundle file is then, removed from the VHQ system and the event is logged under the VHQ audit log table. However, the relevant entry in this VRK bundle will still be retained in VRK Bundle library in VHQ.
Each key payload that contains one or more sets of Key files creates a job and is sent to the specific devices to be downloaded.
VRK key payloads that are downloaded and installed successfully are removed from VHQ server and the record of all such automatic deletions can be viewed in the VHQ audit log table. The history of the VRK audit operations is retained in the VHQ database, for at least 365 days.
