3D Secure explained

3D Secure is a service, involving a two-factor authentication mode for online payments with a debit or credit card, for additional protection purposes.

This means that before finalizing your online purchase you will be required to provide additional confirmation for the payment made with your debit/credit card, depending on the method, used by you: via biometric data of yours or a combination of a 3D static secure code (known only to you) and a dynamic password (which you will receive for every online payment in an SMS).
