Don't want to add this myself as I work for a company which has recently introduced 3d secure as a merchant, and therefore am not exactly NPOV, but maybe it's worth writing something for the Criticism section from merchants/web site integrators perspective: handing the user off to a foreign web site reduces reliability of the purchasing process (another point of failure), makes it difficult for the merchant to offer support (as they do not know what the customer will be seeing on his screen: that varies by bank), and can introduce undocumented browser dependencies (for example, on javascript). https://support.protx.com/forum/Topic4968-22-1.aspx?Highlight=3d+secure https://support.protx.com/forum/Topic5097-28-1.aspx?Highlight=3d+secure —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.80.116.174 (talk) 16:56, 16 April 2008 (UTC) (87.80.116.174 in this occasion was me, not logged in Daniel Barlow (talk) 16:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC))

Looking back on the earlier edits regarding Arcot Systems and keeping in mind the non-commercial, neutral POV of Wikipedia, I would like to note that although not credited in any documentation as a "co-developer" of the protocol, Arcot Systems, Inc. was definitely a contractor working for Visa to assist (or lead) in the development of the protocol. There is a large difference between a contractor and a co-developer, and a contractor is usually not cited in the publication of any results of a development project. The person who paid is the "developer" in the sense of the owner of the resulting work product, although the contractor may justifiably assert that they have special expertise in the area. But there is no way to appropriately cite that within Wikipedia. Inetdog (talk) 00:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Is there some reason that "3-D Secure" has a TM bug while "Verified by Visa", "Mastercard" and "SecureCode" do not? All of the others occur with a TM in documents published by Visa and Mastercard respectively. Inetdog (talk) 00:48, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
