PA-DSS is the council-managed program that originally was managed by Visa. The goal of PA-DSS is to help software vendors and others develop secure payment applications that do not store prohibited data, like full magnetic-stripe and other sensitive authentication data. It also ensures that payment applications support compliance with the PCI DSS. —The PCI Security Standards Council announced the release of version 1.1 of the Payment Application Data Security Standard, or PA-DSS, at the Electronic Transactions Association Annual Meeting and Expo here.
