1. A method for updating a transactional device on a conventional bank card transaction processing network, comprising:
- receiving an instruction at the transactional device from a command token to retrieve update information to update an operational encryption characteristic of the transactional device;
generating transaction data that includes the instruction and a code identifying the transaction data as a command request for causing the transactional device to be updated;
formatting the transaction data into formatted transaction data, wherein the formatted transaction data has the same format as bank card transaction data on a conventional bank card transaction processing network;
transmitting, with identification information of the transactional device, the formatted transaction data across the conventional bank card transaction processing network to a remote device for execution of the instruction, wherein the execution of the instruction results in obtaining the update information, implementing a configuration change in the remote device;
transmitting the update information to the transactional device, wherein the code is packaged in a field of the formatted transaction data;
receiving the update information at the transactional device; and
updating the operational encryption characteristic of the transactional device.

13. A transactional system on a conventional bank card transaction processing network, comprising:
-
a remote server; and a computing device, comprising at least one hardware processor, configured to; communicate with the remote server; receive an instruction at the computing device from a command token to retrieve update information to update an operational encryption characteristic of the computing device; generate transaction data that includes the instruction and a code identifying the transaction data as a command request for causing the computing device to be updated; format the transaction data into formatted transaction data such that the formatted transaction data has the same format as bank card transaction data on a conventional bank card transaction processing network; transmit, with identification information of the transactional device, the formatted transaction data to a remote server for execution of the instruction, wherein execution of the instruction results in obtaining the update information, implementing a configuration change in the remote server; transmit the update information to the computing device, wherein the code is packaged in a field of the formatted transaction data; and receive the update information at the computing device for implementing the updating of the operational encryption characteristic of the computing device; the remote server is configured to send a confirmation to the computing device in response to the instruction; and the computing device is further configured to update according to the instruction in response to the confirmation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
