Amol,
My guess is that MasterCard uses their own DS and not use any
of the SPA stuff. Then they have added an UCAF field
as well. The following seems to support this:

Subject: MasterCard's Implementation of 3D Secure
Hi
Can somebody shed light on how this is planned to work ?
Based on some initial readings on SPA, I infer that the applet at the buyer
end is pre-configured to talk to the Issuer's applet server (and hence there
is no need to have a central directory server like in Visa 3D)
In the MC 3D implementation, there may be no requirement for an applet. How
does the buyer/merchant find the location of the issuer ? Would MC
leveraging the Visa DS ?
Thanx
Amol
