Now, rather than having to pay two people to manually enter keys, both Columbus Data Services, a Dallas, TX based processor and Switch Commerce, a processor based in Irving, TX have implemented Triton's Key Management (TKM) solution.

These two processors are the first pioneers in the industry to implement this technology. Using cryptography to remotely load keys directly from the host to the ATM across a public network, this technology allows ATM owners, especially those with large ATM fleets or those that operate in markets that require that master keys be changed on a regular basis, to save time and money while improving security and increasing uptime. Triton is the first ATM manufacturer to bring this cost-saving solution and security feature to the off-premise market.

"While TKM will reduce the time and costs associated with key loading, the more important aspects are that TKM will improve the key management process and further enhance terminal security by enabling keys to be changed remotely on a periodic basis without having to send techs out to the site," says John Willmon, SVP Business Development at Columbus Data Services.  "We also think that at some point, the networks will require periodic key changes, which will be costly for the ATM operator if the ATM does not support TKM."
