The KMCS is handling cryptographic operations related to the smart card personalization process. This includes - but not limited to – both encryption and decryption operations and PIN related operations. This software is also providing users with intuitive functions to manage issuer and chip related key sets.

The KMCS relies on a physically and logically protected cryptographic board. This security level ensures that neither keys nor sensitive data are in clear outside the HSM (hardware-protected tokens) thus protecting cardholder data and information during the complete issuance process.

Thanks to key transfer protocols, all keys generated during the preparation phase can be securely and remotely transferred from one Hardware Security Module to another without any security breach.

Main features:
• Management of user profiles.
• Issuer management.
• Symmetric keys (DES) generation.
• Import/export of symmetric keys.

Architecture and technology:
• Windows PC server compliant (Windows 2003 Server).
• Remote access through TCP/IP network.
• Synchronous / asynchronous execution mode.
• Multithread execution for parallel processes execution.
