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.
