Many retailers are asking what the real impact of implementing an end to end encryption solution will have on PCI DSS compliance. Implementing a proper end to end encryption solution should allow retailers to reduce PCI compliance scope. This does not mean that they can remove systems that are in the path of payment processing from needing to be PCI DSS compliant, but it means that they will no longer need to implement and maintain many of the required controls on those systems.

The next major Sunrise date in the US for GS1 DataBar™ is almost upon us. GS1 US had recommended, "that retailers in the business of selling loose produce and processing manufacturer coupons begin preparing point-of-sale hardware and software systems to scan and process GS1 DataBar symbols and numbers by January 1, 2010."
Ubiquitous use of these smaller, data-rich bar codes by January 1, 2010 will not quite be a reality, yet their use is becoming more pervasive, and the benefits of their eventual full implementation should neither be dismissed nor ignored.
