Overview

PSD3 encourages API-based payment services to support innovation and interoperability. However, authentication, encryption, and continuous validation may increase processing overhead. RegulatoryTRIZ resolves this contradiction by implementing optimized API gateways, token-based authentication, and risk-based security controls that maintain both performance and protection. Compliance is supported through API security documentation and monitoring reports, while effectiveness is measured through API availability and security incidents.
