At one time identity theft happened most frequently when a thief could lift the credit cards from a person's wallet and use them before the cardholder discovered the missing plastic.
Stealing cards and using them are now almost a thing of the past.
Of course if your wallet just happens to fall into the hands of a thief, they will not resist the urge to do a little free shopping, but most criminals are more interested in stealing the information in ways that allow them to remain anonymous.
P2PE encryption helps to stop the criminals from being able to steal the information while it is being transmitted from point of sale to the financial institution that issued the account.
P2PE means point-to-point encryption.
The technology of P2PE is needed more now than it ever was needed before.
This is because more theft of financial information happens while the information on the credit card is being transmitted through the payment processing systems.
When a criminal can develop a way to get their hands on the private information of others they can use the credit cards the victim already has or they can sign up for new credit accounts and run up large amounts of debt before the victim ever realizes that their information has been absconded.
The criminal remains basically a faceless villain by using these methods of obtaining financial information.
There are no fingerprints left behind for the police to trace, and there is nothing the victim can tell them about where they were the moment they lost their control over their financial information.
This could have happened anywhere the victim had used their credit or debit cards.
The theft could also have occurred when the victim was sitting at home on their computer shopping, banking, or paying bills, online.
As we become more comfortable paying our bills online, shopping online, and doing all of the other things online that could potentially place our private information in a perilous environment we need to be more concerned with ways to protect our information and keep it out of the hands of others.
More and more transactions are done online and fewer transactions happen with true cash exchanging hands.
It has become critical that we keep evolving the ways we protect our information, and types of encryption are the best ways to keep this information private.
P2PE is becoming increasingly necessary because for every good encryption method that is invented there are two or more programs invented to try and breach those encrypted messages.
Thieves will work much harder at trying to steal something from you than they will work at an honest endeavor to make money.
There are many different companies in place that see devices to help you provide secure transactions to your customers.
These devices can be used in walk in stores and they can be used online at virtual stores.
Many of the companies will give you the equipment needed to make the transactions for a slight monthly charge, or for a percentage of each transaction that is processed through the equipment.
