SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING AND TRACKING STATES OF ENCRYPTION DEVICES

摘要

Systems and methods for creating and tracking states of encryption devices are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, systems and methods herein are configured for changing the state of a particular encryption device based upon receiving information from an operator that the particular encryption device is in storage, in transit, deployed, etc. According to particular embodiments, systems and methods herein are configured for changing the state of the particular encryption device based on the format of a payload received from the encryption device, a number of failed decryptions of a particular payload received from the encryption device, etc.

主权项

1. A computer system for managing encryption device status changes comprising:
a P2PE management system comprising at least one processor and operatively connected to an encryption device, the at least one processor configured for:
changing a state of the encryption device based upon transactional information received from the encryption device, wherein changing the state of the encryption device based upon transaction information comprises:
receiving a transaction payload from an encryption device, the transaction payload comprising transaction information and non-transaction information;determining whether the transaction information is unencrypted; andin response to determining that the transaction information is unencrypted, disabling the encryption device by changing a state of the encryption device to a tampered state.
