The latest whitepapers on the payment industry
This paper identifies the top trending authentication methods predicted to affect the payment industry's dynamic of combating fraud during card-not-present transactions.
The new EMV® 3D Secure protocol, or 3D Secure 2 (3DS2), released by EMVCo is designed to address a number of key aspects of the previous protocol and cement the technology’s reputation as one of the most resilient solutions in the fight against card-not-present (CNP) online fraud.
Online payment trends keep evolving as customers continue to favour more user-friendly solutions and solution-makers compete for market share by constantly trying to re-invent the next big thing, to fulfil that need.
3DS2 is more than just an update of an old standard. It is designed with the intent to create a frictionless payment experience for cardholders. It will do this by facilitating a richer cardholder data exchange, allowing risk-based authentication by issuers for low risk transactions, instead of authentication challenges to the cardholder, such that most authentication activity will be invisible to the cardholder.
This paper outlines the existing and evolving standards being used for authenticating card-not-present payment transactions in the fight against fraud in the e-Commerce environment. It considers 3D Secure 1 and 2; the in-country standards of India (PaySecure), China (UPOP) and Russia (MIR); the European PSD2 Directive; and the strong growth in online payments forecast for the Asia Pacific region.
