Europe is bracing itself for a big shake-up in how we pay for things online, which will have significant consequences for businesses across the region. Similar to how GDPR hugely impacted how millions of organizations handle personal data when it was enforced last year, Strong Customer Authentication (or SCA) will have profound implications for how businesses handle online transactions and how we pay for things in our everyday lives when it is enforced on September 14.

SCA will require an extra layer of authentication for online payments. Where a card number and address once sufficed, customers will now be required to include at least two of the following three factors to do anything as simple as order a taxi or pay for a music streaming service. Something they know (like a password or PIN), something they own (like a token or smartphone), and something they are (like a fingerprint or biometric facial features).

    You're not going to avoid this.

    I wouldn't put money on that if I were you.

    GDPR is the start and affects anything you do that touches Europe. Soon the US will follow suit.

    You may have noticed that we have slightly differing opinions on what is and what is not right over here and that we don't tend to care much what Europe wants or doesn't want. That's the prerogative of any sovereign nation and should go without saying if that nation also happens to be a superpower.

    The right to be forgotten is a perfectly valid right...

    Oh? You lot can mandate that newspapers go around with a marker and black out every copy of an inadvisable letter to the editor that you wrote, can you? Your comments here are not personal data. They are a record of what you have chosen to say publicly. The right to speak comes with the responsibility to live with what you've said.

    One day you won't get a choice.

    How's that choice removal working out as far as shutting down The Pirate Bay? You always have a choice. Sometimes that choice is between bending your knee or making a Boston-harbor-sized cup of tea.
