Secure Payment Confirmation Plan 2021

Status: This is a very early draft plan for discussion. It represents no consensus.

See also Rechartering WPWG 2021 and Plan to get PR API 1.0 to Rec.

Goal

  • Reach First Public Working Draft of a specification for SPC by end of August 2021
  • Ship SPC in Chromium by end of October 2021

Activities

  • Describe and prioritize user stories.
  • Establish a feature scope for SPC and prioritize features to appear in a FPWD. Note: subsequent drafts may include different features depending on ongoing WG discussion.
  • Develop an API specification (whether part of Payment Request API or a separate API).
  • Develop corresponding tests
  • Take into account experiences from pilots
  • Ship code in Chromium

Also:

  • To enable the 3DS use case we will work with EMVCo

Timeline

Notes:

  • Some work will be done in parallel:
    • Spec work is likely to begin while requirements are still in development; we will align work as we go
    • Coding is likely to be happening in parallel with everything else
    • Pilot projects will ideally contribute to the issues list, API requirements, and more. Feedback along the way will be very valuable.
  • In addition, we will be working on Payment Request API, the WPWG Charter, and TPAC planning. Those activities are shown in parentheses.
