concerns it was difficult to integrate and that authentication took customers away from their websites.
The technology requires customers to enter what amounts to a password to authenticate themselves before checking out a merchant’s site.

EMVCo also plans to expand the technology’s capabilities beyond browsers, enabling it to work on mobile apps.
Visa, MasterCard, and other major network transferred the technology to EMVCo in January. The standards body hopes to have a final spec in place, in addition to a certification procedure for the security spec written, by the end of 2016.
