Get to Know 3DS and Machine Learning

In the age of online commerce, transaction security is essential. Two technologies stand out to safeguard your online purchases: 3D Secure (3DS) and machine learning. Together, they form a powerful shield against online fraud.

3DS: Your Additional Layer of Protection

3DS is an authentication protocol designed to verify the cardholder’s identity during online purchases. It requests a password or one-time code, known only to the cardholder, to authorize the transaction. This makes it difficult for fraudsters to make fraudulent online purchases, since they lack this critical information.

Machine Learning: Detecting the Unusual

Machine learning is an algorithm that analyzes large volumes of transaction data. It builds purchasing behavior profiles based on your history and detects warning signs, such as unusual locations or odd purchasing patterns.

The Perfect Sync of 3DS and Machine Learning

When you make an online purchase, 3DS verifies your identity with a one-time password. At the same time, machine learning evaluates the transaction in the background, looking for unusual behavior. If something suspicious is detected, additional authentication is requested, such as a code sent to your mobile device. The transaction is approved if you pass this authentication; if not, it is blocked, protecting your funds and data.

Benefits for Consumers and Merchants

Consumers get an extra level of security in their online purchases, which increases trust. Merchants reduce fraud losses and can focus on delivering exceptional service.
