- PED refers to a personal information number (PIN) Encryption Device and may be a device or a terminal with a built-in secure PIN pad.
- FIG 1 illustrates a secure electronic transaction system 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- System 100 comprises one or moie POS teiminals 1 10, cables 1 12 and 117, port processor 1 15, regional chassis 120, network 125, central chassis 130, and host 140.
- POS terminals 1 10 may be any conventional POS terminals that are used for electronic transactions.
- POS terminals 1 10 may comprise T7 Plus terminals that are available from Hypercom corporation.
- POS terminals 1 10 may be connected, via a conventional telephone network or Internet 1 11 to regional chassis 120 Cables 112 and 117 and port processor 1 15 may be used to connect regional chassis 120 to network 11 1 such that chassis 120 can communicate with POS terminals 110.

- the port processor may include an encryption module foi pei forming encryption of data Cable 1 17 may comprise a T63 cable available from Hypercom Corporation.
- POS terminals 110 may include software modules that provide for the encryption of information.
- Regional chassis 120 is connected to central chassis 130 by network 125, such as a frame relay network or an Ethernet connection.
- Port processor 1 15 may be used by regional chassis 120 to communicate with central chassis 130 over network 125.
- Central chassis may also include a port processor (not illustrated) for performing communication and encryption functions.
- Central chassis 130 communicates with host 140.
- Host 140 provides for authorization of the electronic transaction.
- computer 150 may be used for remote configuration of central chassis 130 and as a network management system.
- a user swipes a financial transaction card ( ⁇ e., credit card, debit card, smart card) (step 200) at POS terminal 1 10 or otherwise enters information about a consumer's financial transaction card.
- Other transaction information such as the tiansaction amount, may also be entered into POS terminal 1 10.
- the POS terminal encrypts some or all of the financial card information and the transaction information (step 210) and transmits the information to regional chassis 120 (step 220) via port processor 115.
- a fully encrypted message may be provided for from the POS device to the regional network.
- Regional chassis 120 receives the encrypted message from POS terminal 1 10 via port processor 1 15 (step 230).
- Regional chassis 120 again encrypts the message (step 240) and transmits the message (step 250) over the Ethernet or frame relay 125 to central chassis 130.
- Central chassis 130 decrypts the message (step 260) and the decrypted message is transmitted (step 270) to host 140 for authorization. Once the authorization is complete, the process reverses itself back to POS terminal 1 10.
- the network encryption support of the present invention can be extended to the POS terminal by adding Triple-DES hardware and software module to actually deployed incoming port processors.
- the secure electronic transaction system creates an intelligent encryption method from the source device (POS, ATM) to a local secure access point of the transport environment. By encrypting this "last-mile" portion/leg there is no need for long and costly host modifications, creating a reasonable (tamper-resistant) secure communication over the uncontrollable environment of dial lines.
- messages can be deliver encrypted to the host, concentrating the de/encryption task over to the centralized peripheral devices could create bottlenecks, considering that the actual job for this security boxes is based on a 4/6 byte PIN-Block, a full message process, up to 200 bytes, which could collapse the system.
- the secure electronic transaction system secures the transaction while isolating the central system from the costly de-encryption task.
- secure electronic transaction system 100 supports the following features:
- NACs are backward compatible with the existing terminal population.
- System 100 contributes very little additional overhead to transaction times. All, part or none of a message from POS terminal 110 can be encrypted.
- System 100 uses data encryption standard (DES) or Triple-DES algorithms. Keys are not exchanged.
- the acquirers or processors manage their own keys Each acquirer or processor can have their own set of up to 4095 unique keys
- each network may have its own set of keys, controlled by a network management system, and the key injection system for POS terminal 1 10
- a Key Index Number (KIN) uniquely identifies each key within the network
- the KIN can be any value from 1 to 4095
- the DES key may be eight bytes in length and the Triple DES dual key may be 24 bytes in length using two eight- byte keys The two keys may be concatenated together to create a 24-byte using the equation Kl
- a terminal PED is injected with a key and a KIN for each Nil that supports encryption
- the acquirer will determine the actual keys used
- the acquirer uses their facilities and procedures to inject the keys into the terminal System 100 does not require a particular process for how keys are injected into the terminals, nor how this information is ietamed within the terminal or PED
- terminal 110 sends the KIN along with the encrypted transaction
- the NAC looks up the KIN in its key table to find the key and decrypts the message before passing it to the host processor
- the return message is always sent in the cleai to the terminal
- a TPDU ID hexadecimal 70 may be used to identify an electronic secure transaction in accordance with the piesent invention
- EDS Encryption Definition Section
- ISO 8583 transaction m which some or all of the data may be encrypted
- a NAC receives an electronically secure transaction, it decrypts the message, removes the EDS and changes the TPDU to a standard hexadecimal 60 TPDU
- FIG 3 the construction of an electronically secure transaction message format is illustrated in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- POS terminal 1 10 When POS terminal 1 10 connects to an acquirer with a non-zero KIN, it will encrypt the message using the associated key and send the KIN with the EDS and extended TPDU
- CBC-64 mode cipher feedback 64-bit
- Triple DES algorithms are supported.
- the terminal fills in the EDS with the following information:
- the length of the encrypted data The starting offset of the encrypted data within the message
- the KIN for the acquirer is the KIN for the acquirer.
- the TPDU ID is set to 0x70 and the message is sent to the NAC.
- the NAC has three possible responses: Host Response - the host receives the transaction, processes it and sends a response.
- the transaction response is processed normally.
- HVZ Log Record The HVZ and POS applications emit transaction-logging records when a transaction completes or fails. The EDS portion of a message is not sent in the logging record
- TPDU message format is described below.
- the number of bits in each field is shown in the header as a subscript.
- TPDU ID 8 0x70 [Nil
- EDS Encryption Definition Section
- TPDU ID TPDU Identifier A single byte that describes the type of TPDU. 0x70 and 0x78 indicate the presence of the EDS The EFTSec TPDU IDs 0x70 and 0x78 correspond to the standard TPDU IDs 0x60 and 0x68 respectively.
- Control Control nibble These four bits are reserved for future use and must be zero for the current version of the EFTSec message format.
- Length Length is the length of the encrypted portion of the message.
- the 64-bit cipher feedback mode (CBC-64) of DES and Triple DES are supported.
- CBC-64 requires a multiple of eight bytes of data to encrypt and decrypt. If the length of data is not a multiple of eight bytes, the terminal must append pad bytes after the data that is going to be encrypted. Zero to seven bytes should be appended, to bring the total number of bytes to a multiple of eight.
- the Length field in the EDS should always represent the actual number of bytes in the message; it should not include the length of the pad bytes
- Checksum Checksum of the encrypted portion of the data. The checksum is calculated on the clear text (before encryption) and is the eight-bit sum o each byte beginning with the start byte and continuing through the length. A checksum of OxOO indicates that the terminal did not calculate a checksum and the NAC would not perform verification If the computed checksum is 0x00, the NAC will not verify it and send the message up to the host.
- the following example C code calculates the checksum in the EDS.
- the routine assumes that the message contains a valid TPDU, EDS and data in consecutive bytes in memory, with message pointing to the start of the TPDU.
