Several people asked where to get the ANSI ASC X9 (financial services)
crypto specifications. A catalog of ASC X.9 specs can be obtained via
http://www.x9.org/
ASC X9 specifications are widely used throughout the banking industry.
Specs that recently moved out of committee include elliptic curves and
3DES. It seems that the newer specs are not yet available through the
online catalog. You might have to call X9 directly.
Curious about PIN's? Get the specs!
-------------------
Personal Identification Number (PIN) Management and Security (X9.8) MUST
HAVE & REVISED
The personal identification number (PIN) is a means of verifying the
identity of a customer within an electronic funds transfer (EFT) system.
This recently updated standard specifies the minimum security measures
required for effective PIN management. The objective is to minimize the
risk of fraud occurring within EFT systems by protecting the PIN against
unauthorized disclosure, compromise, and misuse throughout its life cycle.
All phases are covered including PIN delivery, issuance, storage, entry,
transmission, verification, return and destruction, as well as the record
made during its use. Publication Date: Revised 1995
Catalog # X270109 Member Price: $40.00
Non-Members: $70.00
