Abstract :
The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to an
increasing reliance on payment gateways for secure
online transactions. To address vulnerabilities such as
phishing and fraud, multifactor authentication (MFA)
has emerged as a robust solution for ensuring the
integrity and security of transactions. This paper
explores the implementation of MFA in payment
gateways, its impact on user experience, security
protocols, and compliance with regulatory standards. A
comparative analysis of popular MFA methods and a
discussion of future trends, such as biometric
authentication and blockchain integration, are also
provided. Organizations are implementing wireless
online payment applications to facilitate their global
business expansion. This trend has heightened the
demand for regulatory measures aimed at safeguarding
sensitive information, particularly in the realm of
internet-based financial transactions. Current internet
authentication systems typically rely on either the web or
mobile channels independently to verify the identity of
remote users. This approach presents a vulnerability, as
it depends solely on single-factor authentication, which is
insufficient for ensuring the security of user data.
Therefore, there is a pressing need for multifactor
authentication solutions.
