What is the eSecCPACE Security Framework?
As digital and contactless payments continue to evolve, robust security evaluation frameworks are essential to maintaining trust in payment technologies.
The European Card Payment Cooperation (ECPC) is the organization responsible for defining, maintaining, and evolving the CPACE ecosystem. CPACE (CPA Contactless Extensions) is a payment specification framework covering payment cards, mobile payment applications, and contactless kernels.
To ensure implementations meet strict security objectives, ECPC established the eSecCPACE methodology to evaluate CPACE applications on payment cards and secure devices.
