Visa will hold its first one-day Key Management Training series in conjunction with ATMIA on Feb. 10, 2009, at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
 
The training session will review proper key management techniques for Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) cryptography. Visa clients and their agents, including merchants, ISOs, processors, third-party agents and Ecryption and Support Organizations (ESOs) are encouraged to enroll personnel involved with the management, deployment and/or operation of ATMs or POS PIN-Entry devices (PEDs) that accept cardholder PINs.
 
This training is also encouraged for staff requiring practical knowledge of the elements of DES cryptography, approved key management methodologies and the secure management of secret encryption keys, as well as information security specialists responsible for ensuring compliance with the PCI PIN Security Requirements. Visa will provide updates to the PCI PED testing program, Visa's global TDES mandates and the new PCI Unattended Payment Terminal and PCI Hardware Security Module Requirements.
