I saw an Australian company offering tokenising solutions for credit card transactions. Glancing briefly, they talked about replacing credit card number with "tokens" that can be stored on the customer's premises, while the actual card numbers are securely stored on theirs. To me it seems to be a sensible approach to reducing the attack surface or auditable surface. Is this what Stripe does?
- rdtsc 15y agoVisa has the "visa verify" and it is a web service that basically asks extra security questions during authorization. That works online only. Relies on the merchant to provide the extra security. Another thing is temporary one-use credit card numbers. My Discover card as that feature. Of course then it also relies on me to assess the risk of a merchant and go through the steps of getting that number.
