End to End 3DS Testing - UL Becomes the First Approved Security Laboratory to Evaluate PCI 3DS SDK

UL has announced their Basingstoke-based security laboratory is the first laboratory to be approved to perform evaluations for the PCI 3DS SDK program.

The PCI 3-D Secure Software Development Kit (3DS SDK) supports the EMV 3-D Secure-SDK Specification, which defines the EMV 3DS requirements for entities developing 3DS Software Development Kits (SDK) for use in mobile-based 3DS transactions. The PCI 3DS Security Standard focuses on securing the EMV 3DS infrastructure that supports 3DS transactions.

UL’s Basingstoke-based security laboratory has become the first laboratory to be approved by PCI Security Standards Council to perform security evaluations in accordance with the PCI 3DS SDK Security Standard. With the UL 3DS Self Test Platform, UL is now able to provide an end-to-end 3-D Secure certification and evaluation solution.

Isabelle Noblanc, vice president & general manager of UL Identity Management & Security, said: “We are very pleased to be the first laboratory to be approved by PCI SSC to perform evaluations for the PCI 3DS SDK program. Compliance is a necessary step for 3DS technology providers to roll out their solutions to the industry. UL goes beyond certification, to help our clients succeed. With our deep knowledge of PCI and understanding of 3DS, we offer the only end-to-end 3DS program in the world, helping our clients with product and business model strategy & definition, test simulation and certification to reduce risks and accelerate time to revenue”
