ID Tech SecureHead Encrypted Intelligent MagStripe Swipe Read Head (IDHA Series)
ID Tech SecureHead™ Encrypted Intelligent MagStripe Swipe Read Head (IDHA Series)
Triple Track Decoding in a Single, Small Footprint
The encrypting SecureHead incorporates ID TECH’s state of the art TriMag III ASIC, which allows for the electronics to be embedded in the read head. TriMag III not only performs the magnetic stripe data decoding, it also contains a microprocessor that handles encryption and communications for multiple interfaces.
High Security Read Head
The SecureHead’s built-in encryption engine supports TDES and AES encryption with DUKPT key management. The output from the TriMag III ASIC is encrypted before leaving the read head. The SecureHead is ideal for applications that demand improved system security to meet PCI requirements. ID TECH’s SecureHead also provides extended security by sealing the electronics within the head to prevent possible tampering.
