About EMV 3-D Secure

EMV 3-D Secure is a messaging protocol that enables consumers to authenticate themselves with their card issuers when making card-not-present (CNP) purchases or verifying their identity for various non-payment activities,like adding a payment card to a digital wallet. The exchange of data between the merchant using 3-D Secure and a card issuer to authenticate a cardholder reduces the risk of fraud.
