3D Secure is a protocol founded by VISA under the brand name ‘Verified by VISA’ later credit card issuers MasterCard and AmericanExpress joined this 3D Secure protocol to reduce fraud and offer more security for online credit card transactions.
It has 3 layers (domains) first you have the card issuer, then you have the merchant, and last you have 3DS which validates every transaction with a Pincode.
How does 3D Secure work?
When a customer doing an online purchase and pays via credit card, they will be automatically redirected to a secure 3D page, where they need to fill in a password, after this, their payment will be approved by the credit card issuer.

- MASTERCARD (MasterCard SecureCode)
- VISA ( Verified by Visa)
- AMERICAN EXPRESS (Discover ProtectBuy)
- DINERS CLUB (SafeKey)
