AWS Payment Cryptography now supports paper-based key exchange

This article announces that AWS Payment Cryptography now supports Physical Key Exchange, enabling paper-based cryptographic key exchange compliant with PCI PIN and P2PE standards.

• Eliminates need to maintain on-premises Hardware Security Modules and Key Loading Devices
• AWS-trained custodians securely handle paper key components in compliant facilities
• Reduces operational burden for organizations with infrequent key exchanges
• Keys loaded into AWS Payment Cryptography for cryptographic operations
• Complies with PCI PIN and P2PE physical and logical security requirements

Physical Key Exchange provides a cost-effective alternative for organizations whose partners lack electronic key exchange support, accelerating cloud migration while maintaining security compliance.
