Secure Multi-media Ready Device for iPadkDynamo makes mobile payments and card reading easier than ever and adds EMV contactless/NFC and contact EMV chip card reading capabilities while maintaining its small footprint.
Rugged and reliablekDynamo is rugged, affordable and designed to perform to the high standards set by MagTek, the world's most prolific supplier of secure payment technology for over 40 years. The swipe path is optimized for a more reliable and stable oneswipe read; the insertion card slot for contact EMV cards is easy to access; and the contactless/NFC antenna is positioned to make contactless reading simple and reliable.
Follows your leadControl, status and data functions are provided by the host interface. The system requires software on the host device to direct the operation of the card reader through the application programming interface (API). MagTek provides SDKs and APIs for easy development and integration to reduce time to market.
kDynamo features a 100mm VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounting pattern that provides fixed mounting for greater security and convenience. This allows users to deploy kDynamo in a variety of off the shelf semi-mobile or permanent mounts eliminating the need for expensive customization.
MagneSafe Security ArchitecturekDynamo uses the MagneSafe Security Architecture (MSA) combined with the power of iOS tablets (with Lightning interface). The MSA delivers open standards encryption with simple, yet proven derived unique key per transaction (DUKPT) key management, immediate tokenization of card data, and MagnePrint card authentication to maximize data protection and prevent the use of counterfeit cards. Mobile merchants can leverage the power of their iOS tablets without the worries of handling or storing sensitive card data at any time. Ideal for any size merchant, this powerful combination assures convenience and cost savings while ensuring transaction security from the moment the card is swiped all the way to authorization.
Other devices claim to encrypt data in the reader. kDynamo encrypts the data inside reader and offers additional security layers with immediate tokenization of card data and MagnePrint card authentication. This layered approach to security far exceeds the protection of encryption by itself, decreases the scope of PCI compliance, and reduces fraud.
