PCI PIN Security Requirements

PCI PIN Security Requirements are standards designed to protect the personal identification numbers (PINs) used for card transactions. They ensure that PINs are securely created, stored, transmitted, and processed to prevent unauthorized access or theft. This includes using strong encryption, safeguarding PIN data during handling, and employing secure hardware and software. The goal is to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of PINs from the point they're entered by the customer to their verification during transactions, reducing the risk of fraud and ensuring trust in card payments.
