The incidence of card fraud has rocketed in the past few years, partly as a result of the rise of e-commerce and mobile payments. Poorly designed authentication experiences have an adverse impact on customer engagement, fraud mitigation, and operational efficiency. Current 3D Secure (3DS) authentication protocol, where transactions are authenticated through a static password or dynamic one-time password (OTP), has inherent limitations. The extra step during the checkout process results in high cart abandonment among customers.
FSS Secure3D, a secure real-time risk-based authentication solution, built on EMVCo 3D Secure 2.0 specifications, addresses many of the shortcomings seen in Version 1.0. FSS Secure3D adopts a new approach to authentication that renders 100% challenge rates obsolete through a wider range of data points with biometric authentication and an improved online experience. The solution leverages data elements exchanged between the merchant and the issuer to detect nuanced patterns of fraud in real-time to enable businesses to make better-informed authentication decisions.

Business Functionality
Customer enrollment
Issuers can enroll cardholders as they are boarded instead of during shopping. For existing cardholders FSS Secure3D supports bulk enrollment. This new way of approaching enrollment does not impede shopping and provides more clarity to the consumer.
Advanced analytics with clear-box approach to machine learning
FSS Secure3D analyses dynamic user behavior to build accurate data models using standard data elements prescribed by EMVCo for risk-scoring cardholders and transactions.
Range of Authentication Methods
With risk-based authentication, FSS Secure3D provides a zero-touch authentication experience for cardholders while simultaneously reducing the risk of fraud. FSS Secure3D streamlines the transaction process by removing the reliance on static passwords and knowledge-based questions to verify the authenticity of the cardholder in the challenge flow. FSS Secure3D enables issuers to broaden cardholder authentication measures to include biometric and out-of-band authentication, for example, authenticating a desktop session with a one-time code sent to a mobile device.
In the event the transaction is challenged, FSS Secure3D will let businesses embed the challenge flow directly within their web, and mobile checkout flows—without requiring redirects. Using new mobile SDKs, businesses will be able to introduce native flows within their apps, which will no longer require their customers to switch to a browser-based flow to complete the transaction.
Supports mobile and IoT commerce
Mobile customers working on a smaller screen expect instant gratification and have less tolerance for security methods that make the checkout process inconvenient and clunky. FSS Secure3D is capable of seamlessly integrating with mobile apps as well as browser-based environments. FSS Secure3D extends authentication to in-app purchases and digital wallets that store card details to satisfy the demand for a seamless mobile shopping experience.
