Block Unauthorized Transactions and Protect Against CNP Fraud
EMV® Three-Domain Secure (3-D Secure, or 3DS) is a messaging protocol that authenticates consumers with their card issuer when making card-not-present (CNP) e-commerce purchases. The additional security layer helps prevent unauthorized CNP transactions and helps protect the merchant from exposure to CNP fraud. The three domains consist of the merchant / acquirer domain, issuer domain, and the interoperability domain (e.g. payment systems).
3DS comes to counter the ever-increasing instances of cybercrime against e-commerce transactions. The use of 3DS allows the merchant to alleviate themselves of the liability in cases of fraud and chargeback. MegaplanIT can help these businesses get complaint with 3DS so merchants can authenticate transactions with the confidence that the liability for fraudulent payments has been shifted back to the card issuer
MegaplanIT, a leading provider of consulting services, is an assessor in the PCI Security Standards Council’s new 3-D Secure (3DS) program, and can assess entities against the PCI 3DS Core Security Standard.
