Data Encryption Software Product Overview

Since 1981, Prime Factors has provided cost-effective, general-purpose encryption software to more than 1,000 customers world-wide. They use our encryption software to create solutions that protect data in motion, data at rest and cardholder data throughout its life cycle from secure card manufacturing through use and storage.

Key characteristics of our encryption software reflect the needs of our customer base – cross platform compatibility and flexibility. We create flexible encryption software because our customers have such diverse needs for encryption and key management. Many customers use our encryption software to create solutions for a distributed environment on large computers such as IBM mainframes and smaller servers (UNIX, Linux) and PCS.

“Flexibility is important to our customers,” said Prime Factors president Patrick Riley. “It means our software can be used for many different use cases, and in many different ways, thus delivering more value to our customers.”

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

EncryptRIGHT®

EncryptRIGHT, our newest offering, provides a better way to achieve PCI encryption compliance by simplifying key management and reducing the cost of deployment. EncryptRIGHT was designed from the ground up to meet security threats, accelerate deployments, and satisfy auditors that sensitive data is safeguarded. EncryptRIGHT runs on all major operating systems, provides broad application development support and can be implemented by programmers and non-programmers alike. EncryptRIGHT makes it easy for non-programmer 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 secure 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).
