3D Secure
3D Secure technology is a part of global programs 'Verified by Visa by Visa International' and 'MasterCard SecureCode' by MasterCard Worldwide designed to ensure secure and reliable payment for merchandises and services on the Internet.
Globally, over 15 mln holders of Visa and MasterCard cards actively use 'Verified by Visa' and 'MasterCard SecureCode' when buying on the Internet. Today, over 40K Internet stores and 15K banks worldwide use 3D Secure technology.
3D Secure technology proved to be the most advanced payment security standard allowing fraud risks to zero because a cardholder is authenticated at the time of payment for purchase. This authentication takes place at a special server of the bank that issued this bank card (issuing bank). For authentication, cardholders need to enter login and password known only to them. Thus, standard bank card details (such as card number, expiry date etc.), which can be stolen by a fraudster, are insufficient to make payment on the Internet. Data transmission is secured by the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) 3.0. Data exchange is made via restricted-access networks that underwent a PCI DSS audit. Gathering, processing and storage of customer personal data (card details, login data, etc.) are carried out by processing centers that passed certification according to the PCI DSS standard.
