We are pleased to announce that Serma Safety & Security Lab has been accredited by PCI SSC to perform 3DS SDK security evaluations.

EMV® Three-Domain Secure (3-D Secure, or 3DS) is a messaging protocol that enables consumers to authenticate themselves with their card issuer when making card-not-present (CNP) e-commerce purchases. The additional security layer helps prevent unauthorized CNP transactions and protects the merchant from exposure to CNP fraud. The three domains consist of the merchant/acquirer domain, issuer domain, and the interoperability domain (for example,Payment Systems).

A 3DS SDK is software embedded into a merchant mobile application for facilitating cardholder authentication. It is a component that is incorporated into the 3DS Requestor Application and performs functions related to 3DS on behalf of the 3DS Server and the Access Control Server.

With the 3DS SDK program, it should become simpler and easier to integrate 3DS in eCommerce applications.
