The GDRP (General Data Protection Regulation), PSD2 (Second Payment Services Directive), and new regulations of the European Union require secure data handling and transactions along with a good customer experience. More particularly, PSD2 needs SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) processes in place. It has dictated two-factor authentication for ensuring safe payment approvals are in place. Well, the meaning of two-factor authentication is the process of identification of a customer’s authentication based on two or more elements from possession, inherence, and knowledge.

Introduction to PSD2

PSD2 is the Payment Service Directive’s 2nd revision which is meant to develop the financial industry and online payments market in the European Union. It highlights the essential requirements necessary to fulfill for businesses to use open banking/ bank payment as well as 2-factor authentication services to boost security in online payments in the best possible way.

Even though the PSD2’s SCA implementation was a halt on electronic payments because some organizations were having difficulty in implementing the mechanism of 2-factor authentication for a certain period. However, the implementation’s end date was set 31st December 2020 by EBA in Europe.

How PSD2’s SCA requirements can be achieved with biometrics?

Multi-factor authentication is meant to provide an additional security layer when making any online payment. However, now financial service providers or companies using online payment have to integrate biometric configuration to comply with the two-factor authentication requirements of SCA.

• Goals

The goals we have for Go today are the same as in 2007. We want to make programmers more effective at managing two kinds of scale: production scale, especially concurrent systems interacting with many other servers, exemplified today by cloud software; and development scale, especially large codebases worked on by many engineers coordinating only loosely, exemplified today by modern open-source development

• Constraints

The goals for Go have not changed since the beginning, but the constraints on Go certainly have. The most important constraint is existing Go usage. We estimate that there are at least half a million Go developers worldwide, which means there are millions of Go source files and at least a billion of lines of Go code. Those programmers and that source code represent Go's success, but they are also the main constraint on Go 2.

• Process

In the early days of Go, when there were just five of us, we worked in a pair of adjacent shared offices separated by a glass wall. It was easy to pull everyone into one office to discuss some problem and then go back to our desks to implement a solution. When some wrinkle arose during the implementation, it was easy to gather everyone again. Rob and Robert's office had a small couch and a whiteboard, so typically one of us went in and started writing an example on the board. Usually by the time the example was up, everyone else had reached a good stopping point in their own work and was ready to sit down and discuss it. That informality obviously doesn't scale to the global Go community of today.
