The E3 data security system is set to ensure that no card numbers or sensitive data is stored. Such action is performed by encrypting all data from the cards magnetic stripe when converted from analog to digital format.
To avail themselves of the new technology, merchants purchase an E3 terminal or PC-based magnetic stripe reader. Once the hardware is installed, E3 automates the process of continually changing the encryption keys that convert sensitive account information to encrypted data.
