PCI Security - End-to-End Tokenized Encryption

EPX now extends data protection to what I call the 'first inch" of a transaction, i.e., from the plastic to the browser/EPX hosted application. They do that by integrating an encrypting card reader with their BuyerWall solution so that it holds the decryption keys out of the merchant's custody and in a secure system. The PAN data is not decrypted until it is needed for submission directly to the authorization networks, and is never at the merchant anywhere in plain text.
