PCI PIN Security
PCI PIN Security is a complete set of requirements for the secure management, processing and transmission of Personal Identification Number (PIN) data during online and offline payment card transaction processing at ATMs, and attended and unattended point-of-sale (POS) terminals. These PIN security requirements were derived from existing Visa and MasterCard documentation and finalized by a working group formed by the major payment card organizations.
PCI PIN Security consists of 32 requirements and they are organized into seven logically related groups, which are referred to as “Control Objectives.” These requirements are intended for use by all acquiring institutions and agents responsible for PIN transaction processing on the payment card industry participants’ denominated accounts and should be used in conjunction with applicable industry standards.
