Secured Hosting of PCI DSS Compliant Web Applications on AWSGaurav "GP" Pal
Protecting card owner information has become very important for e-commerce companies as they have become frequent targets for hackers. In order to safeguard the interests of the card owners, four industry majors, VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, joined hands to create a set of policies and procedures to protect the debit, credit and cash card transactions and to safeguard the personal information of the cardholders. These policies and procedures are collectively known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). In simple terms these standards alert companies that they are wholly responsible for the credit card information of their customers. The PCI directs companies to use the information diligently and to store only that information that is required for their business. This white paper provides an overview of architectural features in the AWS cloud that ensure the hosting of e-commerce web applications that are PCI DSS compliant. This stackArmor white paper provides an overview of hosting PCI DSS compliant applications in AWS.
Disrupting Traditional Payment Systems Architecture with AWS (FSV320) - AWS r...Amazon Web Services
In Financial Services, payments have evolved from a commodity into a key differentiator, driven by customer demand for faster, easier, and more seamless payment processing.

MMB Cloud-Tree: Verifiable Cloud Service SelectionIJAEMSJORNAL
In the existing cloud brokerage system, the client does not have the ability to verify the result of the cloud service selection. There are possibilities that the cloud broker can be biased in selecting the best Cloud Service Provider (CSP) for a client. A compromised or dishonest cloud broker can unfairly select a CSP for its own advantage by cooperating with the selected CSP. To address this problem, we propose a mechanism to verify the CSP selection result of the cloud broker. In this verification mechanism, properties of every CSP will also be verified. It uses a trusted third party to gather clustering result from the cloud broker. This trusted third party is also used as a base station to collect CSP properties in a multi-agent’s system. Software Agents are installed and running on every CSP. The CSP is monitored by agents as the representative of the customer inside the cloud. These multi-agents give reports to a third party that must be trusted by CSPs, customers and the Cloud Broker. The third party provides transparency by publishing reports to the authorized parties (CSPs and Customers).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Security Standard (PCI DSS)
PCI DSS on Cloud: New challenges
4. Definition of Cloud Computing (NIST)
A service which:
Maintains a pool of hardware resources
to maximize service, minimize cost
Resource efficiency permits hardware
refresh, migration of customer workloads
6. 3 Cloud Service Models
1.
Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS)
2.
Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3.
Use provider’s applications over a network
Deploy customer-created applications to a cloud
Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Rent processing, storage, network capacity, and other
fundamental computing resources
7. 4 Cloud Deployment Models
Private cloud
Enterprise owned or leased
Community cloud
Shared infrastructure for specific community
Public cloud
Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure
Hybrid cloud
Composition of two or more clouds
9. Definition of e-commerce/mcommerce
E-commerce or electronic commerce is
the buying and selling of products or
services via the web, Internet or other
computer networks. M-commerce or
mobile commerce is the buying of
products or services via a device like
Smartphone, PDA…etc.
10. Type of e-Commerce
Business to Consumer (B2C): this is where the
seller is a business organization and the buyer is
a consumer.
Business to Business (B2B): this is where the
seller and the buyer are both a business
organization.
Consumer to Consumer (C2C): this is where the
seller is a consumer and the buyer is a consumer.
Consumer to Business (C2B): this is where the
consumer can name a price they are willing to pay
for a requirement and business organizations can
decide whether to meet the requirement for the
price. As this is consumer driven and not seller
driven this becomes a C2B model.
11. Card payment: The
stakeholders
Card holder: a person holding a payment card (the consumer in B2C).
Merchant: the business organization selling the goods and services (The
merchant sets up a contract known as a merchant account with an
acquirer).
Service provider: this could be the merchant itself (Merchant service
provider (MSP)) or an independent sales organization providing some or
all of the payment services for the merchant.
Acquirer or acquiring bank: this connects to a card brand network for
payment processing and also has a contract for payment services with a
merchant.
Issuing bank: this entity issues the payment cards to the payment card
holders.
Card brand: this is a payment system (called association network) with
its own processors and acquirers (such as Visa, MasterCard or CMI card
in Morocco).
13. Why is PCI Here?
Criminals need
money
Where are the
most cards?
In computers.
Some
organizations still
don’t care…
especially if the
loss is not theirs
Credit cards = MONEY
Data theft

17. PCI DSS Cloud Computing
Guidelines (2013)
The responsibilities delineated between the client and the
Cloud Service Provider (CSP) for managing PCI DSS controls
are influenced by a number of variables, including:
The purpose for which the client is using the cloud service
The scope of PCI DSS requirements that the client is outsourcing to the
CSP
The services and system components that the CSP has validated within
its own operations
The service option that the client has selected to engage the CSP
(IaaS, PaaS or SaaS)
The scope of any additional services the CSP is providing to proactively
manage the client’s compliance (for example, additional managed
security services)

Example: Requirement 12.8
Q: Does PCI DSS apply to merchants who use
payment gateways to process transactions on their
behalf, and thus never store, process or transmit
cardholder data?
A: PCI DSS requirements are applicable if a Primary
Account Number (PAN) is stored, processed, or
transmitted. If PAN is not stored, processed, or
transmitted, PCI DSS requirements do not apply.
….…………………. however ………………………

Example: Requirement 12.8
“If the merchant shares cardholder data with a … service
provider, the merchant must ensure that there is an
agreement with that …service provider that includes their
acknowledgement that the third party
processor/service provider is responsible for the
security of the cardholder data it possesses.
In lieu of a direct agreement, the merchant must obtain
evidence of the … provider's compliance with PCI
DSS via other means, such as via a letter of
attestation.”

Q: “Do QSAs for Level 1 merchants require a
physical walkthrough of a service provider’s
data center?
A: No. A merchant can obtain certification
without a physical walkthrough of a service
provider’s data center if the service provider is
a Level 1 validated service provider (such as
AWS). A merchant’s QSA can rely on the work
performed by our QSA, which included an
extensive review of the physical security of our
data centers.”

PCI SSC on Cloud Challenges
“The distributed architectures of cloud environments add layers of
technology and complexity to the environment.
Public cloud environments are designed to be public-facing, to allow
access into the environment from anywhere on the Internet.
The infrastructure is by nature dynamic, and boundaries between tenant
environments can be fluid.
The hosted entity has limited or no visibility into the underlying
infrastructure and related security controls.
The hosted entity has limited or no oversight or control over cardholder
data storage.
The hosted entity has no knowledge of ―who‖ they are sharing
resources with, or the potential risks their hosted neighbors may be
introducing to the host system, data stores, or other resources shared
across a multi-tenant environment”
This is a pretty self explanatory slide that defines PCI DSS and provides motivations for why PCI is here
Here is an example article that follows that model. The link is: http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/tip/Is-PCI-compliance-attainable-in-a-public-cloud

http://selfservice.talisma.com/article.aspx?article=5378&p=81Does PCI DSS apply to merchants who use payment gateways to process transactions on their behalf, and thus never store, process or transmit cardholder data?PCI DSS requirements are applicable if a Primary Account Number (PAN) is stored, processed, or transmitted. If PAN is not stored, processed, or transmitted, PCI DSS requirements do not apply. However, under PCI DSS requirement 12.8, if the merchant shares cardholder data with a third party processor or service provider, the merchant must ensure that there is an agreement with that third party processor/service provider that includes their acknowledgement that the third party processor/service provider is responsible for the security of the cardholder data it possesses.

If the merchant only stores truncated PAN, and does not store, process, or transmit the full PAN, then PCI DSS would not apply to this merchant (except for requirement 12.8, which is between the merchant and their service providers). Keep in mind that if a merchant stores any paper receipts, reports, etc., with full PAN, this is also considered storage of PAN per PCI DSS. PCI DSS does not apply to a merchant that does not electronically store, process, or transmit full PAN data OR store such data on paper receipts, reports, etc. However, PCI DSS (and SAQ A) does apply to a merchant who stores full PAN on paper, even though they’ve outsourced all electronic storage, processing, and transmission of cardholder data to a third party and only electronically store truncated PANs.

http://aws.amazon.com/security/pci-dss-level-1-compliance-faqs/Q: Do QSAs for Level 1 merchants require a physical walkthrough of a service provider’s data center?A: No. A merchant can obtain certification without a physical walkthrough of a service provider’s data center if the service provider is a Level 1 validated service provider (such as AWS). A merchant’s QSA can rely on the work performed by our QSA, which included an extensive review of the physical security of our data centers.Will AWS cooperate with forensic investigations if required?Yes. AWS is classified as a shared hosting provider and as specified in DSS requirement A.1.4 has written policies that provide for a timely forensics investigation of related servers in the event of a compromise. AWS will work with merchants and designated Qualified Incident Response Assessors (QIRA) as required to perform forensic investigations. AWS also meets all breach notification requirements as applicable to AWS.PCI basis:“For those entities that outsource storage, processing, or transmission of cardholder data to third-party service providers, the Report on Compliance (ROC) must document the role of each service provider, clearly identifying which requirements apply to the assessed entity and which apply to the service provider. There are two options for third-party service providers to validate compliance:They can undergo a PCI DSS assessment on their own and provide evidence to their customers to demonstrate their compliance; or 2) If they do not undergo their own PCI DSS assessment, they will need to have their services reviewed during the course of each of their customers’ PCI DSS assessments. See the bullet beginning “For managed service provider (MSP) reviews,” in Item 3, “Details about Reviewed Environment,” in the “Instructions and Content for Report on Compliance” section, below, for more information. Additionally, merchants and service providers must manage and monitor the PCI DSS compliance of all associated third-party service providers with access to cardholder data. Refer to Requirement 12.8 in this document for details.
PCI SSC virtualization guidance:“In addition to the challenges of defining scope and assigning responsibilities across a shared infrastructure, the inherent characteristics of many cloud environments present additional barriers to achieving PCI DSS compliance. Some of these characteristics include: The distributed architectures of cloud environments add layers of technology and complexity to the environment. Public cloud environments are designed to be public-facing, to allow access into the environment from anywhere on the Internet. The infrastructure is by nature dynamic, and boundaries between tenant environments can be fluid. The hosted entity has limited or no visibility into the underlying infrastructure and related security controls. The hosted entity has limited or no oversight or control over cardholder data storage. The hosted entity has no knowledge of ―who‖ they are sharing resources with, or the potential risks their hosted neighbors may be introducing to the host system, data stores, or other resources shared across a multi-tenant environment” “In a public cloud environment, additional controls must be implemented to compensate for the inherent risks and lack of visibility into the public cloud architecture. A public cloud environment could, for example, host hostile out-of-scope workloads on the same virtualization infrastructure as a cardholder data environment. More stringent preventive, detective, and corrective controls are required to offset the additional risk that a public cloud, or similar environment, could introduce to an entity’s CDE.These challenges may make it impossible for some cloud-based services to operate in a PCI DSS compliant manner. Consequently, the burden for providing proof of PCI DSS compliance for a cloud-based service falls heavily on the cloud provider, and such proof should be accepted only based on rigorous evidence of adequate controls.As with all hosted services in scope for PCI DSS, the hosted entity should request sufficient assurance from their cloud provider that the scope of the provider’s PCI DSS review is sufficient, and that all controls relevant to the hosted entity’s environment have been assessed and determined to be PCI DSS compliant. The cloud provider should be prepared to provide their hosted customers with evidence that clearly indicates what was included in the scope of their PCI DSS assessment as well as what was not in scope; details of controls that were not covered and are therefore the customer’s responsibility to cover in their own PCI DSS assessment; details of which PCI DSS requirements were reviewed and considered to be ―in place‖ and ―not in place‖; and confirmation of when the assessment was conducted.Any aspects of the cloud-based service not covered by the cloud provider’s PCI DSS review should be identified and documented in a written agreement. The hosted entity should be fully aware of any and all aspects of the cloud service, including specific system components and security controls, which are not covered by the provider and are therefore the entity’s responsibility to manage and assess.”
