WebSentry PCI.A new WebSentry PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). security module offers system integrators a solution to providing the cryptographic functionality necessary to support both the Secure Sockets Layer (networking, security) Secure Sockets Layer - (SSL) A protocol designed by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide secure communications over the Internet using asymmetric key encryption. (SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. ) and the Secure Electronic Transaction Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) is a standard protocol for securing credit card transactions over insecure networks, specifically, the Internet. SET is not itself a payment system, but rather a set of security protocols and formats that enables users to employ the existing (SET) standards. WebSentry is now available with a PCI interface for PC/server installation or with an Ethernet interface for standalone use covering both merchant and acquirer bank (payment gateway) applications. WebSentry e-commerce solution provides the necessary infrastructure to accommodate the widest range of throughput requirements of merchants, acquirer banks and electronic fund transfer (EFT) network processors in SSL or SET enviromnents. WebSentry also meets the mandatory requirements of highly secure hardware security imposed on acquirer bank (payment gateway) platforms. It is possible to upgrade the software inside the WebSentry units to cater for future enhancements to the cryptographic standards without the need for hardware replacement. WebSentry is not limited to Internet-based e-commerce applications. It provides sufficient generic public keyinfrastructure (PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of ) functionality to meet the demands of most applications where security is required - possibly involving key generation, digital signatures or encryption. |
