ATM Networks (PULSE, STAR, NYCE, VISA, etc.) all abide by the American National Standard : X9.8, X9.24 and X3.92 documents. The TG-3 PIN Security and KEY Management Security Review is governed by these Standards.

The ATM review, very simply, looks at the encryption of the PIN at its entry into the system through an ATM or POS. It will analyze how the KEY’s are obtained, stored, used and will then map the flow of the PIN to the NETWORK. This review is required to be done by an accredited auditor that has completed the course in Network Security Compliance for PIN and KEY management.
