SKI Series 3
Streamlined point-of-sale key injection
Automation, compliance, and flexible functionality
Secure Key Injection – SKI Series 3
The SKI Series 3 makes direct key injection fast and easy. It supports all major POS manufacturers and compliance standards. Its GUI is easy to learn and use, cutting down training time. The SKI Series 3 can inject encryption keys into 18 POS terminals simultaneously. It also has automation templates to reduce manual effort. This powerful functionality, plus its wealth of extra features, makes the SKI Series 3 perfect for high-volume key injection projects.
Support for all major POS manufacturers
The SKI Series 3 supports all major POS/POI manufacturers. Deployments include POS terminals, PIN pads, POI devices, and PIN entry devices (PEDs). Support for new and emerging devices is ongoing, ensuring your key injection operations keep pace with the industry.
Compliance with all major standards
The SKI Series 3 complies with all major security standards, including full TR-31 support. It contains a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated cryptographic module, natively built into the product so no cumbersome integration is needed.
Versatility for all transaction types
Inject encryption keys for all payment purposes and types, including both Master/Session and DUKPT.
Security in an embedded SCD
The SKI Series 3 has an embedded secure cryptographic device (SCD) that is validated under FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and PCI HSM standards.
Automation to streamline workflow
Key injection profile templates and automation capabilities reduce manual effort and human error. Scanning terminal bar codes automatically populates fields in the SKI Series 3’s GUI.
Logical security
The SKI Series 3 features dual control, split knowledge, and role-based user permissions. This gives you the logical tools to mitigate key exposure and cyber threats.
Physical security
The SKI Series 3 is enclosed in a tamper-resistant, tamper-evident puzzle-box-design chassis. Any physical intrusion attempt triggers sensor wires to clear sensitive data.
Remote key loading (RKL) ready
The SKI Series 3 can be expanded to support remote key loading. This ensures that even as the industry grows, expands, and evolves, you’ll be ready.
Why the SKI Series 3?
Two words: functionality and flexibility. The SKI Series 3 is the most user-friendly and feature-rich key injection solution on the market. With a wide range of functions and a streamlined GUI, the SKI Series 3 is a great choice for key injection projects of any scale.
