EPAS (Electronic Protocols Application Software) is a non-commercial cooperation initiative launched in Europe which aims at developing a series of data protocols to be applied in a point of interaction (POI) environment.
The project intends to address the three following protocols; a terminal management protocol, a retailer application protocol and an acquirer protocol.
Project Development[edit]
The proposed initiative was structured along the three following main phases :
- Phase I : development of technical specifications and issuance of standards (2006 - mid-2007)
- Phase II : development of software and provision of test tools (2007 – 2008)
- Phase III : construction of demonstrators (2008)
