More than likely, your merchants have received letters from their banks/processors notifying them of Security Updates, Shut-Off Dates, and Required Action Steps. These notifications are unique and independent of EMV standards. Failure to prepare won’t result in a shift in liability; it will result in a complete disruption of service. Please read below to ensure that you and your merchants are prepared to avoid a shut-down in processing.
What is this all about?
The entire industry is shifting to newer security protocols. Previously used SHA-1 and TLS 1.0/SSL 3 have proven to be vulnerable to certain attacks. SHA-1 certificates are scheduled to expire and Elavon is migrating to SHA-2 and TLS 1.2. Deadlines are determined by Elavon and are subject to change at their discretion.
What do I need to do?
Datacap has been updating our Elavon applications since we learned of the planned changes. Only Host-Based applications are affected; terminal-based applications do not require an upgrade. See below to see if your merchants will be affected.
