Browser Authentication (BRW device channel)

  1. Use the /preauth API call to:

    • Determine if card is enrolled in 3-D Secure v2

    • Determine 3-D Secure v2 protocol version (v2.1.0 or v2.2.0)

    • Receive threeDSMethodURL to determine if the 3DS Method is required

  2. Perform 3DS Method if threeDSMethodURL was included in the /preauth response.

  3. Perform an authentication using the /auth endpoint call.

    • You must include the threeDSServerTransID from the /preauth request in your message.

    • You must set the threeDSCompInd to Y if the 3DS Method call was successfull, otherwise N.

  4. If transStatus is C, perform a challenge flow on the cardholder device.

  5. Retrieve values from the /postauth endpoint (ref. 2.1.0, 2.2.0) endpoint after challenge flow has completed.

Mobile APP Authentication (SDK device channel)

Note

The specifics of how a flow is performed depends on the SDK. Please get in touch if you have issues with your SDK and we can assist.

  1. Use the /preauth API call to:

    • Determine if card is enrolled in 3-D Secure v2. This is not required, but will determine if authentication should proceed outside the SDK.

    • Determine 3-D Secure v2 protocol version (v2.1.0 or v2.2.0)

  2. Perform an authentication using the /auth endpoint call.

  3. If transStatus is C, perform a challenge flow on the cardholder device.

  4. Retrieve values from the /postauth endpoint (ref. 2.1.0, 2.2.0) endpoint after challenge flow has completed.

3DS Requestor Initiated Authentication (3RI device channel)

Note

We have yet to determine and document use-cases for 3RI transactions.

  1. Use the /preauth API call to:

    • Determine if card is enrolled in 3-D Secure v2

    • Determine 3-D Secure v2 protocol version (v2.1.0 or v2.2.0)

  2. Perform an authentication using the /auth endpoint call.
