The Root of Trust for Secure Payment Infrastructure

CHARGE Anywhere operates a PCI-Validated Certificate Authority and Registration Authority (CA/RA), forming the foundation of its encryption and key management infrastructure.

This CA/RA environment serves as the root of trust across the entire payment ecosystem—enabling secure device authentication, certificate issuance, and trusted encryption key lifecycle management.

Trusted Device Onboarding

Enables secure, scalable deployment of payment terminals across global environments.

Full Control of the Trust Layer

Unlike providers that rely on third-party security infrastructure, CHARGE Anywhere owns and operates its CA/RA environment in-house, delivering:

  • Greater security integrity
  • Faster deployment and provisioning
  • Reduced dependency on external providers
  • Complete control over the encryption trust chain

Part of a Complete PCI Security Ecosystem

The CA/RA operates in conjunction with CHARGE Anywhere’s full suite of PCI-validated security capabilities, including:

  • Key Injection Facility (KIF)
  • Encryption Service Organization (ESO)
  • Remote Key Injection (RKI) via Customer Vault platform
  • Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) via Customer Vault™

Built for Modern Payment Platforms

Whether supporting OEM device manufacturers, ISVs, or enterprise payment environments, CHARGE Anywhere’s CA/RA infrastructure enables organizations to:

  • Deploy secure payment devices at scale
  • Maintain full PCI compliance
  • Accelerate time-to-market without building internal cryptographic infrastructure

Own the Trust Layer

CHARGE Anywhere’s PCI-validated CA/RA ensures that every device, transaction, and encryption key is rooted in a secure, trusted, and fully controlled environment—powering the next generation of payment infrastructure.

CA/RA

Establish and manage a PCI-validated Certificate Authority and Registration Authority to securely issue, control, and lifecycle-manage encryption keys across your payment environment.

KIF

Enable secure key injection workflows to provision devices with encryption keys safely and efficiently, supporting compliant deployment at scale.

ESO

Deliver secure key management and transaction processing through a browser-based environment, eliminating the need for on-premise infrastructure while maintaining strict security controls.

HSMs

Leverage certified Hardware Security Modules to generate, store, and protect cryptographic keys within a tamper-resistant, PCI-compliant environment.
