Professional Security Magazine Online: Customer authentication
8 January 2019
A ‘Card-Not-Present’ transaction is when a payment is made without a cardholder physically presenting their card to the merchant. Historically these sorts of payments have been used effectively for mail and telephone orders, but now they are used more typically to complete online orders, such as e-commerce and m-commerce (In App). However, Card-Not-Present transactions are the biggest routes to card fraud, as this form of payment presents a specific challenge to retailers in being able to verify who the actual cardholder is, and consequently being able to authenticate their payment, writes David Orme, Senior Vice President at fingerprint sensor product company IDEX Biometrics.
