The PCI Council has updated its payment device standard to enable stronger protections for cardholder data, which includes the PIN and the cardholder data (on magnetic stripe or the chip of an EMV card) stored on the card or on a mobile device.
Specifically, version 5.0 of the PCI PIN Transaction Security (PTS) Point-of-Interaction (POI) Modular Security Requirements emphasizes more robust security controls for payment devices to prevent physical tampering and the insertion of malware that can compromise card data during payment transactions.
