After Asseco SEE Croatia RKL Service was introduced for Diebold cash machines, it now became available for Wincor Nixdorf ATMs too.

Asseco South Eastern Europe (Asseco SEE), the largest provider in the region for products and services for financial industry, announced launching of Remote Key Loading (RKL) functionality for Wincor Nixdorf ATMs. RKL has been successfully tested in test environment and will be soon released in production at one of Asseco's biggest clients.

Remote Key Loading (RKL) enables distribution of Terminal Master Keys from centralized Key Management System to the Encrypted Pin Pad. Using existing devices for secure key storing, Host Security module and Public Key Infrastructure Terminal Master Keys are securely transferred to ATMs without any kind of data fraud. Before RKL, Terminal Master Keys were loaded manually into the system with “four eyes principle”. This means that two employees had to enter the keys in a way that each employee held one half of the key. Asseco’s RKL solution eliminates security risk which was a result of manual handling of sensitive Terminal Master Keys.

“RKL application eliminates possibility of human error because there is no more need for manual interventions during exchange of keys. Less human intervention brings higher security while administration console enables central administration and distribution of keys. All this results with cost reduction” said Viktor Olujić, Head of Authentication solutions.
