Visa Authenticated Payments


Explanation:
According to the Visa organisation itself:

VAP: Visa's Authenticated Payments programme

VAP stands for Visa Authenticated Payments, a secure global solution for all payments over the Internet and online. It is a blend of 3 Domain SET, 3 Domain Secure and SSL based encryption technology. It creates the first ever global payment authentication system: Visa Authenticated Payment. Visa Authenticated Payment is designed to confirm the legitimacy of both buyers and sellers conducting financial transactions on the Internet, thereby bringing the online payment experience closer to that of the physical world.

disagree  Joanne Panteleon: It sounds very reasonable and true. However, "Point d'acces" given in the question could not possibly mean "Visa authenticated payments"
