The Why!

Definition of Terms
Card Associations: Both VISA and MasterCard are not for-profit organizations who both issue credit cards and set and maintain the rules for processing. They are both run by board members who are mostly high-level executives from their member banks. Issuing and Acquiring Banks: An issuing bank is the original bank that issues the card, such as a First USA Visa card. The acquiring bank is the bank set up by the merchant to accept transaction processing for cards accepted. Authorization Request and Response: An electronic request for authorization sent to an Issuer by a merchant or Acquirer. The response can approve, decline or route the transaction. Authentication: A cryptographic process that validates the identity and integrity of data used in smart cards.
Smart Card/Chip Card: A plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit, or chip, that communicates information to a interface device. Chip cards offer increased functionality through the combination of significant computing power and data storage. Chip cards are capable of holding multiple applications and sometimes are referred to as Multi-Ap Cards.

Definition of Terms
Online Authorization: A method of requesting an authorization through a data communications network other than voice to an Issuer, an authorizing processor, or stand-in processing. Offline Authorization: A method of processing a transaction between the card and terminal at the point of transaction without sending the transaction online to the Issuer for authorization. Transactions are sent in batch format to the processing systems. Processor: A vendor acting as the agent to a bank that provides authorization, clearing, or settlement services for merchants and banks. Host Systems: A computer system used by an Issuer, Acquirer, Merchant, Client or Vendor to perform in-house processing. Interchange: The fees merchants pay to the card associations or companies on the transactions, usually a % of the sale price.

Magnetic stripe technology remains in wide use in the U.S. However, the data on the stripe can easily be read, written, deleted or changed with off-the-shelf equipment. To protect the consumer, businesses in the U.S. have invested in extensive online mainframe-based computer networks for verification and processing. The microprocessor on the smart card is there for security. The host computer and card reader actually "talk" to the microprocessor. The microprocessor enforces access to the data on the card.
