Pinelope - PIN distribution made easy

Pinelope is used to create PIN mailers used to distribute passwords or PIN (Personal Identification Numbers) in a tamper proof envelope to avoid unauthorised access. The same technology can be used for distributing salary statements or other personal information.

Verisec offers PIN mailers as a service to banks, government or corporate customers. The PIN mailer application Pinelope was initially developed for the outsourced service provided by Verisec to support creation and management of PIN mailers.

Pinelope includes functions for:

  • Template creation (*.VPM format) and modification.
  • Template and PIN file merge with configurable batch quantities.
  • Protective raster technology (PRT) for PIN printing with raster background/ foreground (useful when printing on patented security film such as Hydalam™).
  • Support for Bar Code printing.
  • Built-in error handling (e.g. printer jam).
  • Support for encrypted PIN files

For increased security PIN's can be decrypted in a secure hardware encryption environment provided from Bull.
