Concerns over protection of payment card data continues being a critical item for any entity involved in the payments ecosystems and continuously fueled by news items related to data breaches. Securing sensitive card data at the point of capture can have the greatest impact in terms of reducing risk and the scope of compliance. This approach is so important to overall system security and risk reduction that the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) gave it a name—Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE)—and issued a Solutions Requirement document with guidance for merchant implementations.
The emergence of mobile commerce has introduced significant innovation to the merchant environment and the acceptance of payments on mobile devices is changing the shopping experience. Securing payment data in a mobile environment brings new challenges and again the PCI SSC has assisted by publishing guidance for mobile payment acceptance to help educate stakeholders in managing the new risks. Not surprisingly, P2PE also plays a key role in enabling the use of mobile devices for payments.
This session provides an overview of the requirements and the technologies and solutions being used to protect sensitive payment data in order to manage risk, as well as the impact of mPOS, and mobile payments in general, to the payments environment.
