Security is a key concern for all parties when transacting online business. At IndiaCore, we have ensured our customer's have no worries on this front. Our customers' entire Credit Card/ Debit Card/ Net Banking authorization is done through High End Secure Payment Gateway. Listed here are key security measures of our online payment gateway:

Payment Gateway is VeriSign 128 bit Secure

Your online payment is processed by our online payment gateway provider on their secure servers with SSL technology. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a 128 bit encryption which is used by most secure payment gateways and ensures that the information or communication cannot be intercepted during transmission by a hacker/ unauthorised user.

The customers enter all their personal information and Credit Card/ Debit Card/ Net Banking details on the secure server and the same is encrypted before it is transmitted over the Internet to the payment gateway.

Handling our customers' sensitive data

We adopt stringent security measures to ensure that critically sensitive information, such as your personal information and Credit Card/ Debit Card/ Net Banking details, are protected.

Your details are not stored online on our website and therefore can never be hacked.

Secure technologies for payment gateway server

The payment gateway server is behind security firewalls to ensure maximum protection of our customer's details. This guarantees that your information is inaccessible to any third party.

IndiaCore also follows strict in-house security guidelines for ensuring confidentiality of our customer information.

Added Security Features

Card Verification Method (CVM)
Our payment gateway incorporates CVM. The Card Verification Method, or CVM , consists of a 3 or 4-digit numeric code that is printed at the back of the credit card along with (after) the credit card number, where the card holder signs in his signature on the card. This additional 3 or 4 digit numeric code is not embossed on the card nor available in the magnetic stripe. This additional 3 or 4 digit code is featured/ incorporated on all Master Cards and Visa cards issued worldwide, including cards 'Valid only in India and Nepal'. Visa calls this security feature as CVV2 and Master Card calls it as CVC2.

Why CVM?
The purpose of CVM is to ensure that the person submitting the transaction is in possession of the actual card, since the code cannot be copied from charge slips/ receipts or skimmed from the magnetic band. Our payment gateway requests our customers to provide this numeric code for their order and submits it with the authorization through the Bank gateway. The card processor (i.e. Visa or Master Card) will then validate the code supplied with the number on record for the specific card, and return a match/no-match response.

Securing our customers
According to a Gartner Group survey, 98% of the credit card numbers that the hackers / fraudsters are able to collect, are through charge slips thrown away by retailers/ restaurants/ shopping malls etc, which contains the card holder's name, the 15 or 16 digit credit card number and the expiry date. This extra 3 or 4 digit numeric code is not printed anywhere in the charge slip. Therefore the hackers / fraudsters cannot use these credit card numbers on CVM-validated transactions.

Worldwide statistics have shown that fraud rates on transactions with verified CVM codes have been significantly lower than those for transactions without CVM (fraud rates on CVM-validated transaction are reportedly 90% lower than those for non-CVM transactions). The Card Verification Method process is an expensive proposition for the payment gateways and is therefore incorporated only in few gateways.
