[1] [2] Methods other than fingerprint scanning or PIN-numbers can be used at a payment terminal. Tokenization, when applied to data security, is the process of substituting a sensitive data element with a non-sensitive equivalent, referred to as a token, that has no intrinsic or exploitable meaning or value. The token is a reference (i.e ...

Point-to-point encryption (P2PE) is a standard established by the PCI Security Standards Council.The objective of P2PE is to provide a payment security solution that instantaneously converts confidential payment card (credit and debit card) data and information into indecipherable code at the time the card is swiped, in order to prevent hacking and fraud.
The executives and management of the PCI SSC are supported by 30 companies comprising the Board of Advisors, [8] and other stakeholder advisory groups such as assessor companies and regional boards. Interested parties can participate in the development of the PCI security standards through member registration as a Participating Organization.
On 7 September 2006, American Express, Discover Financial Services, Japan Credit Bureau, Mastercard and Visa International formed the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) with the goal of managing the ongoing evolution of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. The council itself claims to be independent of the ...
Encryption is often the most complex approach to solving the data masking problem. The encryption algorithm often requires that a "key" be applied to view the data based on user rights. This often sounds like the best solution, but in practice the key may then be given out to personnel without the proper rights to view the data.
PIN pads must be approved to the standards required by the payment card industry to ensure that they provide adequate security at the point of PIN entry and for the PIN encryption process. ISO 9564 is the international standard for PIN management and security, and specifies some required and recommended characteristics of PIN entry devices.
The PCI Council suggested that organizations migrate from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.1 or higher before June 30, 2018. [41] [42] In October 2018, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla jointly announced they would deprecate TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in March 2020. [20] TLS 1.0 and 1.1 were formally deprecated in RFC 8996 in March 2021.
