The MagTek iDynamo 5 (Gen II) is a compact secure card reader authenticator (SCRAs) that read magnetic stripe cards that conform to ISO standards. iDynamo 5 (Gen II) models are made for iPhone and iPad devices with a Lightning interface.
In addition to reading multiple tracks of data from a card, iDynamo 5 (Gen II) has MagnePrint technology, so a card's unique MagnePrint fingerprint is included with the track data in each transaction. To maximize card security, when a cardholder swipes a card, the device encrypts card data and MagnePrint data before they leave the encapsulated magnetic stripe reader head using the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA, also known as Triple DES).
iDynamo 5 (Gen II) models manage encryption keys using DUKPT (Derived Unique Key Per Transaction) key management. DUKPT uses a base derivation key to encrypt a key serial number that produces an initial encryption key which is injected into the device before deployment. After each transaction, the encryption key is modified per the DUKPT algorithm so each transaction uses a unique key. Thus, the data is encrypted with a different key for each transaction.
