The main story in the first issue is about the differences between the April  and August version of the FAQ for the PCI 2.0 evaluation. Every three months, PCI publishes a FAQ containing the new refinements of the requirements for its PCI POS and EPP security requirements version 2.0. It is not an easy task for the vendors to keep up. Our security expert has made a detailed comparison and explanation of the differences, which will provide a great overview to help the payment terminal and smartcard vendors to understand and execute the refinements.
