A google of The Thales Host Security Modules solution appears to be software that runs under Windows.
ICSF is a hardware and software API feature of z/os. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank Swarbrick Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ICSF pin mailer printing Anyone out there use ICSF (Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility) for encryption between self and Visa/Mastercard/ATMs? I'm specifically curious about how PIN mailer processing is done. (If it is done!) We currently use Thales Host Security Modules. When a new card is ordered a random PIN is generated. We have a printer physically attached to the HSM which is used to print a mailer that contains the customer's PIN. The only place the PIN is in clear text is on the serial cable that connects the printer to the HSM. I can't see anywhere that ICSF supports this type of thing; thus the question. Thanks!
