·         The PIN Debit key is always injected on the "first" key index, regardless if it starts at "0" or "1". 

  • The Data Key is always injected on the "second" index. 
  • You can check PED Key Status on your Paxstore file under Terminal Details
  • TDES/DUKPT if you can see that on PED Key Status it means your device is encrypted
  • Slot 001, PIN Encryption meaning for PIN debit and EBT
