InstaPayment (www.instapayment.com), a web-based payment and financial solutions company, selected SafeNet Protect Server Gold (PSG) Hardware Security Module (HSM) to encrypt sensitive data that traverses and resides on their Photo ID Smart Card-Website-POS systems. These systems, which have been implemented in 65 school districts nationwide, allow students to pay for meals and other school purchases using their school photo ID smart card.
From a home PC or laptop, parents can transfer funds to their child's ID card and view their child's purchase history. They can also access and specify information such as contact numbers, child medical alerts, or other details. InstaPayment's system also includes mass broadcast student/parent alert software which enables school officials to immediately and simultaneously notify all parents of any school emergencies.
SafeNet PSG acts as a cryptographic subsystem, encrypting credit card numbers and online financial transactions, storing public keys, and safe-guarding the information of parent's and children that utilize the smart card system.
SafeNet PSG provides a wide range of cryptographic services including high-speed encryption, user and data authentication, message integrity, as well as secure key storage and key management for e-Commerce. SafeNet PSG is easy to manage and was installed in InstaPayment's system in only one day.
FIPS 140-2 and Level 3 validated, SafeNet PSG has a 64-bit PCI interface, 4MB secure storage capacity, and a dedicated cryptographic processor, all of which provide high speed cryptographic operations, large storage and fast transaction speeds.
