3-D Secure™ is an XML-based protocol used as an added layer of security for online credit and debit card transactions.

The 3-D Secure protocol was developed by Visa to improve the security of Internet payments and offered to customers as the Verified by Visa service.

It uses personal identity information and PINs to provide added protection against unauthorised use of Visa and MasterCard cards when shopping at participating online merchants. 

Services based on the protocol have also been adopted by MasterCard, under the name MasterCard SecureCode, and by JCB International as J/Secure.

Brick and Mortar
Read full details on: Wikipedia

In the jargon of eCommerce, brick and mortar businesses are companies which have a physical presence (for example, a building made of bricks and mortar) - which offer face-to-face consumer experiences.

This term is usually used to contrast with a transitory business or an internet-only presence (see online shop for comparison). An example would be the brick and mortar movie rental shop Blockbuster Video -- the competition from the new online rental services offered by Netflix.
