CVV numbers are also known as CSC numbers ("Card Security Code"), as well as CVV2 numbers, which are the same as CVV numbers, except that they have been generated by a 2nd generation process.

Note: This field is not used for EBT transactions.

CVV2Status optional cvv2Status Simple Type

Indicates why the CVV2 value was not provided; see the associated Type enumerations for specific values supported.

EncryptionData optional EncryptionDataType Complex Type

If the supplied card data was encrypted, this must be supplied.

All
DataFormat optional encryptedDataFormatType Simple Type

EncryptionDataFormat is an optional field to be used for encryption Version "05" to define the encryption encoding format

EncryptionDataFormat 1 Denotes the CardData sent to PORTICO is Binary

EncryptionDataFormat 2 Denotes the CardData sent to PORTICO is ASCII

Version encryptionVersionType Simple Type

The encryption version used on the supplied data.

For PAN encryption, use version "02" or "04" for Heartland E3 encryption. This requires the client to parse the E3 MSR output. The encrypted PAN is passed in the card data element as the manual entry card number. The KTB must be provided as part of the encryption data. If sending an encrypted CVV2, use version "04" which expects the PAN and CVV2 to be encrypted.

For PAN encryption, use version "05" for TDES DUKPT encryption with and without CVV encryption. This requires the client to parse the output. The encrypted PAN is passed in the card data element as the manual entry card number. The KSN must be provided as part of the encryption data.

For track encryption, use version "01", "02", or "04" for Heartland E3 encryption. Version "01" will not require parsing and it will not require additional fields in the encryption data, but the full E3 MSR output must be passed in the card data element as track data. Version "02" and "04" requires the client to parse the E3 MSR output. The KTB must be provided as part of the encryption data. In addition, the client must parse the data specific to either encrypted track 1 or track 2 and provide this in the card data element as track data as well as supply the track number as EncryptedTrackNumber.

For track encryption, use either version "03" for AES encryption with DUKPT, or "05" for TDES encryption with DUKPT. The "03" option supports the IdTECH card readers. The "05" option will work with any device that supports TDES with DUKPT data encryption per AINSI 9.24-1. Both options require the client to parse reader output. The KSN must be provided as part of the encryption data. In addition, the client must parse the data specific to either encrypted track 1 or track 2 and provide this in the card data element as track data as well as supply the track number as EncryptedTrackNumber.

For track encryption "05" is used for TDES encryption with DUKPT. The "05" option will work with any device that supports TDES with DUKPT data encryption per ANSI 9.24-1. Both options require the client to parse reader output. The KSN must be provided as part of the encryption data. In addition, the client must parse the data specific to either encrypted track 1 or track 2 and provide this in the card data element as track data, as well as supply the track number as EncryptedTrackNumber.

Required for encryption version "02","03","04" and "05"; indicates which track is being supplied encrypted (i.e. "1" or "2").
