    receiving, at the main service facility, at least one of security and authentication keys having been generated by the electronic transaction facility software;

    registering the electronic transaction facility with the main service facility by certifying the received security and authentication keys;

    installing security certificates of a cluster of service facility servers as trusted SSL/HTTPS credentials at the main service facility; and
