Online payments using a credit card are more common than ever. With the growing use of credit cards to make purchases or pay bills online, there is a heightened risk of information theft. Therefore, more secure means of authentication are necessary to safeguard one's personal data. Visa addressed this problem by developing its 3-D Secure protocol.

XecurePay is a 3-D Secure settlement solution designed to secure online payments using Visa. XecurePay, unlike other 3-D Secure products, is the world's first PKI-based 3-D Secure solution that supports both ID/password and public certificate methods. XecurePay ACS passed the Visa compliance test in February 2003.
Functionalities

- XecurePay ACS
This solution manages the card holder authentication process. A cardholders requests to make a payment will prompt the MPI to activate the ACS authentication process. ACS directly communicates with the cardholder to authenticate the user. ACS keeps data logs of all authentication requests in the Visa directory server so that any potential disputes can be resolved.
