With the accelerating process of globalization, cross-border payment fraud is also escalating. Especially after the COVID-19, the cross-border transaction fraud rate has increased significantly. EMV Co released the protocol and specification of 3-Domain Secure 2.2 (abbreviated as 3DS 2.2) in Dec 2018, which expands some new functionalities based on 3DS 2.1. The new functionalities mainly focus on the optimization of application of PSD2 SCA. The purpose of 3DS 2.2 is to prevent and control payment fraud more strictly, optimize the user payment experience of 3DS 2.1, and apply identity authentication to more scenarios.

According to Strong Consumer Authentication(SCA) of PSD2 delivered by EU, cardholders must abide by SCA in Europe. 3DS 2.2 specifies the exemption for SCA, so as to ensure that cardholders can improve their transaction payment experience on the basis of secure transactions.

In addition, 3DS 2.2 also expands 3RI. For some scenarios in which merchants initiate transactions on their own initiative, such as the transaction initiated by entrusted agency through telephone, email or fax, payment authentication can be carried out through 3DS 2.2, and cardholders can be given up to seven days of authentication time.
