3D Secure (3DS) is a global authentication protocol designed to add an extra layer of security to online credit and debit card transactions. Originally developed by Visa and Mastercard, it is now used by major card networks to reduce fraud and enhance the safety of eCommerce payments.
The "3D" in 3D Secure stands for "three domains," which are involved in each transaction:
The merchant/acquirer domain
The issuer domain
The interoperability domain (managed by payment systems like Visa or Mastercard)
When 3D Secure is enabled, it typically works as follows:
The cardholder initiates an online purchase.
The merchant's website redirects the customer to their bank's 3D Secure page.
The customer provides additional authentication, such as a password, SMS code, or biometric verification.
If authentication is successful, the transaction is completed.
This process adds an extra step to verify the cardholder's identity, helping to prevent unauthorized transactions and reduce fraud for both customers and merchants
Benefits of 3D Secure
Enhanced security: Provides an additional layer of protection against fraudulent online transactions
Liability shift: In many cases, 3D Secure can shift the liability for fraudulent chargebacks from the merchant to the card issuer
Compliance: It helps merchants comply with Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements under regulations like PSD2 in the European Economic Area.
3D Secure is widely adopted by major credit card companies and is known by various names, such as "Verified by Visa," "Mastercard SecureCode," and "American Express SafeKey".
