To date participants have made contributions to Council resources on topics such as wireless security, EMV chip, point-to-point encryption and virtualized environments . The Council invites any members of the PCI SSC community interested in participating in one of these projects to indicate their interest by emailing >>>>[email protected]before November 30th. >>>>
Following this, Council SIG leads will convene each group to formalize the group charter and precise scope of work project. This will be shared by the end of the year, with SIGs anticipated to start work in the beginning of 2012. >>>>
