The EMV Universe 1


EMVTM 101 – What is EMV?
 Name of the standards developed by Europay,
MasterCard and Visa in 1993
 Currently owned by Visa, MasterCard, JCB and Amex
 Designed originally for “card present” contact chip
card payment acceptance.
 Basis for chip migration by payment schemes in
markets around the world

EMV™ is a trademark owned by EMVCo LLC

EMV 101
 EMVCo manages, maintains and enhances the EMV
Specifications to ensure global interoperability and
acceptance of chip cards
 Also, is responsible for a type approval process for
terminal compliance testing (EMV Level 1 and 2)
 Level 1 – Terminal hardware components
 Level 2 – EMV Kernel – Software (EMV Commands)
 Scheme Certification (Visa, MasterCard, Amex etc.)
 Level 3 – Payment application level

The EMV Universe 3


EMV 101
 EMV was designed to be a comprehensive toolbox that
enables protection against:
 Counterfeit and skimming - through the use of cryptography
 Offline card authentication
 Online card authentication
 Lost or Stolen - through the use of offline PIN and/or online PIN
 Consumer delinquency through the use of offline risk
management
 Secure offline transaction processing capability
 Over the years evolved to support “card not present” as
well (CAP and DPA*)
* CAP – Card Authentication Program (MasterCard), DPA – Dynamic Passcode Authentication (Visa)

The EMV Universe 4


EMV 101
 There are 3 main steps to an EMV transaction:
 Card Authentication – Card is genuine
 Offline
 Online
 Cardholder Verification – Card presented by its rightful owner
 Offline PIN (Plaintext/Encrypted)
 Online PIN
 Signature
 Amount Authorization
 Offline – using the Issuer counters and limits within the chip
 Online – using the Issuer host

Myth #1: EMV = Old Technology
 EMV was developed in 1993 which makes it almost
20 years old
 Why should a market implement a technology that is
this old? Would we consider it obsolete?
 Maybe we should create a new technology to secure
transactions moving forward

The EMV Universe 7


Reality #1: EMV Old Technology
 Modern cryptography is over 35 years old but we still
use it
 EMV security relies on cryptographic functions –
these evolve together with the evolution of
cryptography
 In the early years of EMV the challenges have been
with the implementations. Now with over 15 years
of experience fewer issues occur
 There are over 1 Billion EMV Cards issued in the
world

The EMV Universe 8


Myth #2: EMV = Chip & PIN
 Chip & PIN was the marketing brand used for the UK
implementation of EMV
 PIN is one of the core EMV security features
 PIN only protects against lost and stolen fraud

The EMV Universe 9


Reality #2: EMV Chip & PIN
 There are EMV cards in the world today that don’t
support PIN (Issuer, Brand and/or Market choice)
 It is up to the Issuer to decide if and when it is worth
the investment to enable offline PIN as it requires an
expensive infrastructure
 Canada 2010 – credit card Lost and stolen accounted
for only 10% of card fraud*
 Once EMV is implemented there is no additional
impact for the merchant to implement offline PIN at
POS
EMV = Chip & Choice

Myth #3: PCI vs. EMV
 There are two ways to look at cryptography based
security:
 Privacy/Secrecy (Encryption)
 Authenticity (Digital Signature)
 EMV is based on Authenticity
 PCI is based on Privacy

EMV Cryptograms ≠ Encryption


 EMV data is not Encrypted

The EMV Universe 11


Reality#3: PCI & EMV
 To protect the “Card Not Present“ environment, card
data must be kept secret in the “Card Present”
environment
 PCI will continue to complement EMV as long as
there isn’t a more widely adopted solution for “Card
Not Present”
 PCI and EMV should be implemented together – Visa
will waive PCI audits for the merchant if 75% of the
transactions are EMV

Myth #4: EMV Certification is enough

The EMV Universe 13


Reality#4:EMV Certification is NOT enough
 No performance testing – crucial with EMV
 Not enough negative or exception testing
 Customer specific testing not included
 Consult with your acquirer to receive the full EMV
test requirements
