Pin Mailer
PIN mailers are 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)
Pinelope can work together with other Athena modules or as a stand alone product. When working together with other Athena modules, serial numbers are stored in Athena together with shipment information. PIN codes are never stored in the database.
Envelope templates can be created and edited. Rasters can be applied to the PIN code and to the background in order to change contrasts.
