Cryptography Software

 Last updated 28 March 2001

This section should be consulted in conjuntion with Cryptography hardware. It contains software products that provide financially related cryptographic functions and capabilities for bank cards, EDI and so on.


 Prime Factors Inc

US based Prime Factors are unusual in that they specifically produce and market a software solution (although Racal HSM support is also provided) to support Visa, Mastercard and other bankcard cryptography. This product is BCSS, or the Bank Card Security System, described here.

The rest of the site is also well worth reviewing, they produce software DES libraries for a variety of platforms, and EDI software solutions that are unique as far as my current research shows.


 ZiCubed ATM Safetypin

This is an interesting software security widget. This is a system that allocates a cardholder a 'safety' PIN only to be used when he's being robbed at an ATM, while still appearing to work. This then notifies the police that a robbery is in progress. Neat. They say they've patented it, but the real genius is in the idea, and it'll be interesting to see if people copy it.

Other, Miscellaneous and commentary

Do IBM still market or supply PCF? Can you fill in any gaps? Are there any manufacturers that I've missed? Please, please tell me!
