Securing safe payments through Strong Customer Authentication
Instant Payments, FinTech and Blockchain – Challenges ahead in the European Payments Landscape Securing safe payments through Strong Customer Authentication Use of at least two of the following three elements At least one element must be: Independent Non-reusable Safe from being stolen via an internet connection Possession Examples: Token Smart Card (Smart-)Phone Inherence Fingerprint Iris-Scan Typing behaviour Knowledge Password Code PIN SCA means authentication based on the use of two or more elements categorised as knowledge (i.e. something only the user knows), possession (i.e. something only the user possesses), and inherence (i.e. something the user is). These elements must be independent so that breach of one element does not compromise the reliability of the others. The SCA as a whole must be designed in such a way as to protect the confidentiality of the authentication data. The EBA agreed with the majority of respondents to the Consultation Paper that, in order to ensure technology neutrality and allow for the development of user-friendly, accessible and innovative means of payment, it should not define the authentication elements further. Rather, the draft RTS provides that the elements should contain security features such as (in the case of knowledge) the use of non-repeatable characters and (in the case of possession), algorithm specifications. The use of knowledge elements must be subject to mitigation measures in order to prevent their disclosure to unauthorised parties, while the use of possession elements must be subject to measures designed to prevent replication of the elements. The security features required for the inherence element are worth examining in more detail. The security features of the inherence element The EBA has set a particularly high bar for use of authentication elements categorised as inherence. While devices and software provided to the payer to read inherence elements must possess securities features (such as algorithm specifications or biometric sensors), these features must also: (a) guarantee a "sufficiently low likelihood of an unauthorised third party being authenticated as the legitimate payment service user"; and (b) guarantee "resistance against unauthorised use of the elements" through access to the relevant device and software. There is currently no guidance on the meaning of "sufficiently low likelihood", or "resistance". The requirement to "guarantee" security levels is also vague: for example, what level of "resistance" must be guaranteed, and what would be the consequences of a breach of this guarantee? We expect that the burden of proof of compliance would fall so heavily on the PSP that a breach would be considered to be tantamount to a failure to apply SCA (for which PSD2 allocates liability), but confirmation of this analysis would be welcome.
