PCI: An Industry
Standard for Protecting Credit Cards on the Internet
Businesses and
consumers are very concerned regarding safe credit card transactions over
the Internet. If not vigilant, consumer fraud and Identity Theft would be
out of control. Banks and credit card companies have responded quickly
aggressively to the challenge, fearing a potential backlash of consumers
discouraged from using credit cards based on security concerns. The result
was the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) , a set of
best practice requirements for protecting credit card data throughout the
purchase transaction lifecycle. This standard is required for business
conducted with the State of Arizona over the Internet.
