PA-DSS Release?

[mjulson]

Anyone know when the final version of PA-DSS will be released. Website still says Q1. I'm about have two large applications audited to become certified, but I would much rather have it done on PA-DSS instead of PABP so I don't need to worry about any issues.

Anyone have any idea if it's clearer(less ambiguous) than the PABP?

As I recall, in Toronto we were told the target date for PA DSS was the third quarter of this year (August/Sep). I'd not be surprised with a later date, though, given all the parties that have to agree to everything. :(

In the SAQ release webinar earlier this week, the intention of releasing PA-DSS in the end of Q1 this year was mentioned.
Later in the year, training and accreditations for PA-DSS evaluaitons is planned to take place.
