3D Secure refers to 3 Domain Secure. In brief, it is an extra method of authentication for online credit card transactions. It also provides protection from fraudulent card use for the seller and his acquiring bank, the cardholder and his card issuing bank, and Card Association’s networks (Visa, MasterCard).
It is a secure payment authentification method where a customer additionally confirms his/her card payment. Buyers that purchase goods online using their credit or debit cards have probably come across the 3D Secure authentication system. After a customer clicks the payment button, a new window appears asking him to enter a personal password (or security code) that is verified by his card issuer. This window is normally marked with MasterCard SecureCode or Verified by Visa logos.
