1. Introduction

ID TECH iMag is a snap-on, magnetic stripe reader designed to work with iPhone and iPod Touch. The
iMag Pro works with all Apple mobile devices including the iPad. The reader delivers a superior
reading performance because of its ability to encrypt sensitive card data. The data encryption process
prevents card holder information from being accessed when the data is stored or in transit, so the
data remains secure from beginning until end.
The reader fully supports TDES and AES data encryption using DUKPT key management method.
