Data Encryption Software Product Overview

Prime Factors develops data encryption and key management software that reduces risk and helps you achieve your security goals.  The software is cross-platform compatible and reflects knowledge gained since 1981 when Prime Factors was founded. Since then, we have delivered encryption software that protects data in motion, data at rest and cardholder data throughout its lifecycle from card creation through use and storage.

Our data encryption software delivers a wide range of end-to-end protection from securing data at the field level to encrypting and authenticating fields in a database. Prime Factors' product offering includes the Psypher Security Suite that protects data in motion, EncryptRIGHT® that secures data end-to-end in databases, business applications as well as customer facing applications, and the Bank Card Security System (BCSS) that provides cost-effective functionality for issuing and verifying credit, debit and prepaid cards.

EncryptRIGHT®

EncryptRIGHT was designed to help companies achieve PCI compliance and simplify end-to-end encryption and central key management. EncryptRIGHT makes it easier to protect data from the moment it enters your enterprise until it is no longer needed.  Unlike many encryption products, EncryptRIGHT was designed so security administrators can make the security decisions and thus insulate programmers from the complexity of implementing cryptography within their applications.   EncryptRIGHT makes it easy to determine what data to protect, how to protect it and to assign the security level of employees and key management policies. EncryptRIGHT simplifies programming, and facilitates a rapid application development environment. You can encrypt specific data without the need to change your application.

Leading personalization bureaus in the world use the Bank Card Security System (BCSS) to produce secure financial transaction cards (credit, debit, prepaid and gift). They find BCSS to be the lower cost alternative to the custom programming ordinarily used to implement key management and to create card security codes and PINs.  In addition, acquirers use BCSS to verify card transactions. BCSS decrypts PIN blocks and verifies security codes. Customers rely on BCSS to keep them current with the latest security standards established by Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover® and American Express®. BCSS also keeps issuers and acquirers current with security requirements for different types of plastic media: magnetic-stripe cards, smartcards (chip cards) or contactless cards (RFID cards).
