The platform supports DUKPT, PIN blocks, EMV ARQC, TR-31, and ISO 8583, and emulates 111 host commands, with all computations occurring locally in the browser to ensure test data never leaves the user's machine. It is designed for homologation testing against standards like ISO 9564, ANSI X9.24, PCI DSS, EMV, and TR-31/X9.143, and is positioned as a free alternative to costly licensed tools.", "body_md": "Decoded.\n\n50+ cryptographic tools, an HSM simulator, and an AI assistant — everything payment engineers need to test, validate, and homologate against the standards. DUKPT, PIN blocks, EMV ARQC, TR-31, ISO 8583 and more, all running in your browser. Built for homologation, never for production data. Free forever — and your keys never leave the browser.\n\n50+ tools for PIN blocks, key derivation, MAC generation, EMV scripting, and more.\n\nFull Thales payShield 10K emulation with 111 host commands. Real algorithms, real responses.\n\nKeyLab is a testing tool for engineers validating implementations against payment standards. Here's how to use it — and how not to.\n\nUse synthetic test vectors (e.g. PAN 4111111111111111). Never paste production PINs, PANs or live keys — PCI DSS forbids it, and so do we.\n\nEven your test data stays in your browser. The server cannot see what you compute. You stay in control of what you paste.\n\nBuilt on @noble/curves, @noble/post-quantum and node-forge. Auditable, peer-reviewed. Inspect what runs before you trust it.\n\nISO 9564, ANSI X9.24 (DUKPT), PCI DSS, EMV, TR-31 / X9.143. The specs you already audit, implemented faithfully so you can validate against them.\n\n→ Inspect the source. Run on test data. Validate. Then move it to your audited stack.\n\nERROR: Outdated Cipher Suite. Please upgrade.\n\nCluttered. Slow. Expensive.\n\nAnnual License: $999/yr + maintenance fees\n\nFAST. SECURE.

After years of working with tools that were either too expensive, too outdated, or simply frustrating to use, I built KeyLab: the platform I wished existed when I started.\n\nKeyLab is built by someone who actually uses these tools daily.
