Bluefin, EchoSat to provide PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption

As part of the deal, EchoSat will implement Bluefin’s Decryptx PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) service, which will encrypt payment data directly at the point of interface (POI).

PCI-validated P2PE secures card transactions by encrypting all data within a PCI-approved point of entry swipe or keypad device, preventing clear-text cardholder data from being available in the device or the merchant’s system where it could be exposed to malware.
