The first objective targeted by PCI SSC with the publication of MPoC, is to provide a common specification reflecting the multiple configuration possibilities for contactless payments on commercial off-the-shelf devices.
Indeed MPoC gathers many requirements from CPoC and SPoC, respectively defining the security requirements for contactless transactions on mobile devices (not supporting PIN entry), and the security of sensitive cardholder data during PIN entry on COTS (using peripheral device to read cards).
Hence MPoC answers to the needs of payment solution providers to develop efficient protection mechanisms to secure payment card transactions operated on smartphones or tablets with PIN entry support.
