Latinofare adds 3D Secure 2.0 to safeguard customers from card misuse

Context

EMV® Three-Domain Secure (3DS) is a messaging protocol developed by EMVCo. It allows consumers to authenticate themselves with their card issuer.

Our solution uses 3DS check to:

  • Protect merchants from exposure to fraud and prevent unauthorized transactions.
  • Shift liability for chargebacks for fraudulent transactions from merchants onto the card issuer.
  • Help merchants (in UK) wanting PSD2 compliant Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) management and exception handling.

3D Secure 2 is an extra security layer defined by EMVCo and major credit card schemes for CNP (card-not-present) transactions. As an e-commerce authentication protocol, it enables the secure processing of payment, non-payment, and account confirmation of card transactions.

Using 3D Secure 2, the issuer inspects over 100 data parameters to:

  • verify the cardholder’s authenticity
  • assess the risk level of the transaction

It acts as a protocol to authenticate a cardholder or verify an account during an e-commerce transaction:

  • When the issuer determines the authentication is successful, the merchant can process the transaction without any cardholder interaction.
  • If the issuer classifies the transaction as risky it challenges the customer to confirm their identity using Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) mechanisms.

This is a working document created for functioning of a standalone plug-in system for 3DS2 Authentication.

Features

Authentication workflows

  • Frictionless
  • challenge
  • 3RI

Server Integration

  • Use the Web SDK to handle the 3D Secure check on your behalf

Workflow

Implementation

A lightweight javascript to be placed on the website. Basic data related to payment is to be passed in the Javascript SDK. The SDK will return Authentication Tokens, Directory Server Transaction IDs & ECI (Electronic Commerce Indicator) to be passed to the Payment Processor to get the Liability Shift on the Transaction.
