AWS Payment Cryptography
Simplify cryptography operations in your cloud-hosted payment applications
Remove your dependencies on dedicated payment hardware security modules (HSMs) while achieving your cloud migration goals.
Reduce your operational burden by using a fully managed service built to meet payment card industry (PCI) compliance standards.
Harness high throughput and low-latency cryptographic functions with capacity that grows elastically with your business.
Simplify setup with no need to provision hardware instances, and ease integration with AWS native APIs.
How it works
The diagram shows the key features of AWS Payment Cryptography and the integrations available with other AWS services.
The first section lists the relevant workloads from customers: “card issuing,” “transaction acquiring,” and “issuer transaction processing.”
The second section titled AWS Payment Cryptography reads, “Elastic managed service.” A box to the right with text reads, “Provides key management and cryptographic APIs for payment processing.” To the right is another heading, “Key management and cryptographic operations,” with explanatory text that reads, “Integrate secure cryptography into your payment applications.” This section lists the key features: “Translate PIN data using DUKPT,” “Encrypt and decrypt P2PE data,” “Create, import, and manage keys,” and “Generate and validate card and PIN data.”
Below the second section is text, “Audit logs for provisioning cryptographic operations and key management.” There are two services listed, AWS CloudTrail and Amazon CloudWatch.
Use cases
Simplify payment card processing
Translate, decrypt, and validate sensitive data and verify cryptograms through elastic APIs.
Automate payment key exchange
Implement key exchange, generation, and storage, in accordance with PCI standards.
Consolidate management of payment cryptographic functions
Simplify integration using AWS native APIs, and reduce dependencies on legacy, socket-based calls.
