The Smart Payment Association has announced an updated edition of its report, "Strengthening Card Authentication: A migration to DDA."

First published in 2009, the SPA document has now been revised to reflect the evolution of technology and the commercial environment, according to an SPA press release.

The revised report offers an overview of the card authentication methods marketplace; the role of static data authentication; and the increasing adoption of dynamic data authentication and combined data authentication schemes. 

The paper explores the significant opportunities to be gained from a migration to DDA, the associated reduction in fraud, and the enablement of "finer" control of offline transaction approvals.
