MagTek Dynamag Card Reader

Secure Card Reader Authenticator (SCRA)

The Dynamag Secure Card Reader Authenticator (SCRA) by MagTek is a MagneSafe® secured solution, providing both security and user-friendly features for merchants. With a reliable swipe path and comprehensive security measures, it ensures peace of mind. Tailored to meet PCI DSS standards for safeguarding cardholder data, the Dynamag utilizes industry-standard Triple DES encryption. As a bidirectional SCRA, it effortlessly enhances the security of any existing merchant application.

MagTek's secure card reader authenticators (SCRAs) utilize the advanced MagneSafe Security Architecture (MSA), which has evolved significantly since its introduction in 2006 as the industry's first SCRAs for secure electronic transactions. MSA serves as a digital identification and authentication framework, ensuring the protection of consumers and their personal data. Going beyond PCI regulations, MSA incorporates robust encryption, secure tokenization, counterfeit detection, tamper recognition, data relevance and integrity, and dynamic digital transaction signatures. These elements collectively validate and secure every aspect of a transaction.

A standout feature of MSA is MagnePrint® card authentication, a patented technology that effectively identifies counterfeit credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, ATM cards, and ID cards at the point of swipe, preventing fraud before it occurs. With its multi-layered security approach, MSA provides unparalleled protection and flexibility, enhancing the safety of online transactions.

MagTek recognizes the value of time and the importance of a quick "time to market." The Dynamag is a plug-and-play USB device with both USB power and connection. It is fully interface compatible with all standard MagTek readers, serving as a seamless drop-in replacement that necessitates no modification to the merchant's POS software solution.

The Dynamag empowers retailers to "future proof" their POS and PC-based electronic transactions, accommodating both current traditional applications and upcoming advanced security requirements. This device offers flexibility by enabling the activation of advanced security features like card authentication, data encryption, and device/host authentication remotely when heightened security is needed.

Streamline operations and enhance security with secure remote key injection and key management. MagTek's secure infrastructure enables the safe and remote injection of encryption keys, reducing risks and costs. Merchants can avoid managing sensitive information, such as encryption keys or device configuration settings, leading to improved overall operations.

Utilizing Remote Services for key and device management allows for key upgrades or adjustments to device security settings throughout the device's lifespan, eliminating the need for merchants to recall devices. This flexibility assures merchants that they can effectively manage changes in the future and support evolving payment technologies with peace of mind.
