The Card Security Code (CSC), sometimes called Card Verification Value or Code (CVV or CVC), is a security feature for credit or debit card transactions, giving increased protection against credit card fraud. There are actually two security codes: The first code, called CVC1 or CVV1, is encoded on the magnetic stripe of the card and used for transactions in person. The second code, and the most cited, is CVV2 or CVC2. This CSC (also known as a CCID or Credit Card ID) is often asked for by merchants for them to secure "card not present" transactions occurring over the Internet, by mail, fax or over the phone. In many countries in Western Europe, due to increased attempts at card fraud, it is now mandatory to provide this code when the cardholder is not present in person. The CVV2 is a 3- or 4-digit value printed on the card or signature strip, but not encoded on the magnetic stripe. In MasterCard, Visa, Discover and JCB credit and debit cards, it is a 3-digit value. It is not embossed like the card number, and is always the final group of numbers printed on the back signature panel of the card. The CVV2 number is generated when the card is issued, by encrypting the card number and expiration date under a key known only to the issuing bank. Supplying this code in a transaction is intended to verify that the customer has the card in their physical possession. To date, no cracks for this system are known.
