The HSM provides support for many PIN verification techniques. The techniques often involve the generation of a PIN using a given algorithm, or an algorithm that requires a value known as an offset. The HSM provides support for PIN generation as follows:
Derive a PIN using the IBM 3624 method.
Derive a PIN using the Diebold Proprietary Algorithm.
Generate a random 4-digit PIN.
Offset generation support is provided as follows:
Generate an IBM PIN offset using the 3624 method.
Generate a Diebold PIN offset.
Generate a VISA PIN Verification Value (offset).
