Combining Core Capabilities to Deliver Highest Security to Customers for Cashless Payment and Banking Use Cases
For the financial industry, securing sensitive information like personal or payment data as well as personal identifiers is a non-negotiable priority. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), such as Utimaco’s Atalla AT1000 Payment HSM, play a vital role in creating trustworthy systems, especially when integrated with advanced financial service solutions like Voltage SecureData.
This blog outlines how the integration of Voltage SecureData with Atalla AT1000 Payment HSM delivers exceptional security and explains the highlights about their combined benefits. We will also provide actionable steps on how to migrate from legacy solutions nearing their end of life to this cutting-edge solution.
Addressing the Needs of Today’s Banking and Financial Service Environments
Voltage SecureData’s Advanced Protection Capabilities
Voltage SecureData offers a data-centric approach to financial security, protecting sensitive information at every stage of its lifecycle. Organizations benefit from advanced techniques like Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE), tokenization, and centralized key management, which secures data without disrupting existing systems.
Key Features of Voltage SecureData
- Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE): Maintains the format of data, enabling secure encryption without altering workflows.
- Tokenization: Converts sensitive data, such as cardholder numbers, into non-sensitive tokens.
- Cryptographic Districts: A unique capability that defines how data is safeguarded and ensures cryptographic operations occur securely within the HSM.
- Centralized Key Management: Simplifies the management of encryption keys across the organization.
- Identity-Based Encryption (IBE): Provides security without the need for a prior key exchange.
Cryptographic districts enhance security further. These zones isolate sensitive processes within the HSM environment, ensuring critical data such as encryption keys remain protected.
