How do I check my encryption Status?
You can check the encryption status with the c7-37 command, as outlined in the NEO IDG.
This command can be ran in our Universal Demo.
- In the demo go into "Device" and click "Send NEO Command".
- the CMD field is c7, the Sub command is 37.
- After filling in the fields, click "Execute Command"
- The results window should give you a 1 byte response indicating your encryption status
As of 11-04-2016, there are 3 possible encryption states:
- 00. No encryption
- 01. MSR encryption only
- 02. EMV encryption only
- 03. MSR and EMV encryption
NOTE: It is possible to have a device with NO key injected and an encryption status greater than 00. Encryption status is NOT key status
