1. Authentication Data

MP Score - aka Authentication Value

This is MagnePrint® score from the transaction. The score

will range anywhere from -1 to +1 and be represented as 3

decimal places (ex - .856). The higher the score, the more

likely the card is authentic and not a copied card. The lower

the score, the more likely it is a fraudulent card and may incur

a charge back. If the MagnePrint score is below a 0.3, then

QwickPAY will display the following alert:

COUNTERFEIT ALERT

Examine the card carefully,

it is likely a counterfeit.

If you suspect fraud, make

a Code 10 call.

a. Transaction authentication and authorization

Once you Submit your transaction, a transaction authorization and authentication screen appears.

Authentication

1.

You may not be familiar with authentication since this is something that is unique to QwickPAY and the

MagneSafe™ Security Architecture (MSA). Only secure card reader authenticators (SCRAs) use the MSA

and can perform real-time counterfeit card detection and encrypt the card data within the read head.

SCRAs use the MSA to deliver instant encryption so your customers’ sensitive card details never enter

your phone and are sent securely over SSL connections for decryption, authentication and processing.

This lowers the scope and cost of PCI audits, saving you more time and money. A key feature of

MagneSafe is MagnePrint® card authentication, a patented, proven technology which reliably identifies

counterfeit credit cards. MagnePrint is a dynamic card authentication technology based on the unique

physical properties of the magnetic stripe, also referred to as the stripe’s digital identifier or (DI). It

provides validation that the card itself is genuine and that its encoded data has not been altered.

Authorization

2.

You are probably familiar with transaction authorization: the process of confirming payment with the credit card company. The
card data and amount are sent securely for processing with the customer’s credit card account. Processing involves confirming
card number, expiration, CVV values, name on the card, zip codes and available funds.
