3D Secure Authentication
3D Secure Authentication refers to card-payment authentication software or services using a three-domain authentication concept.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
3D Secure (3-domain structure), also known as a payer authentication, is a security protocol that helps to prevent fraud in online credit and debit card transactions.
The payer authentication is a three-part process, so there are three parties involved in the process: the issuer (such as Visa or MasterCard), the acquirer, and the interoperability domain (such as payment system).
The 3D Secure Authentication industry can be broken down into several segments, System & Platform, Consulting Services & Solutions, etc.
Across the world, the major players cover Visa, Infineon Technologies, etc.
3D secure authentication is a measure to prevent fraud and can be used as an additional layer of security when making card payments.
Merchant, issuer and payment-system messaging interfaces define the service; authentication, authorisation and settlement are different stages.
What turns activity into demand
Procurement depends on the agreed deliverable, integration, rights and continuing support. Separate initial projects or software access from repeat service work when interpreting the selected market study.
The commercial boundary
Define delivered work, software rights, hardware and continuing services separately. The selected edition describes its research coverage, rather than establishing supplier capabilities.
Which supplied scope and interfaces define 3D Secure Authentication?
Merchant, issuer and payment-system messaging interfaces define the service; authentication, authorisation and settlement are different stages.
