PCI-DSS Tokenization with Core dna

Discover how PCI-DSS tokenization can be seamlessly integrated with Core dna to enhance data security and compliance.

Understanding PCI-DSS Tokenization

PCI-DSS tokenization is a data protection technique that replaces sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, with unique identification symbols or tokens. This process helps in safeguarding sensitive data during transactions and reduces the risk of data breaches.

Integration with Core dna

Integrating PCI-DSS tokenization with Core dna provides an additional layer of security for businesses handling sensitive payment information. Core dna’s robust infrastructure and flexible module architecture make it an ideal platform for implementing tokenization to ensure PCI compliance.

How the Integration Works

In a Core dna environment, sensitive credit card data is never stored. Instead, Core dna integrates with your payment processing systems to replace credit card information with a token. This token is stored securely within Core dna’s ecosystem, offering a secure means of handling and processing digital transactions.

Key Steps:

• Customer initiates a transaction on your Core dna-powered website.
• The payment gateway encrypts the card information.
• A token is generated and sent to Core dna, safeguarding the sensitive data.
• Core dna uses this token to process and manage the transaction securely.

Specifications and Comparison

Practical Use Case

Consider an e-commerce company using Core dna to manage its online platform. By integrating PCI-DSS tokenization, the company can provide a secure payment option that replaces actual card information with tokens, satisfying security standards and enhancing customer trust.

Implementation Example

Upon customer's checkout, the system prompts for payment. The customer's card data is encrypted by the payment gateway, which then generates a secure token. Core dna receives this token, using it to process the payment without ever storing the card data, keeping the transaction both secure and compliant.

Conclusion

Integrating PCI-DSS tokenization with Core dna not only ensures data security and compliance but also enhances customer trust and experience. The tokenization process enables businesses to handle transactions safely, ensuring sensitive data remains protected at all times.
