Examples of generating a Signature Value

SHA-256 Example

Timestamp: 2019-01-14T20:42:13.216Z Milliseconds Since Epoch: 1547498533216 TransactionId: 07643622 ApiKey: 13f1fd1b-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-ca61878f2a44 Signature: wpGKFbhcBl+8JLVXGP0QqBooK6dtLBv9bYtI15NXL1U= Generate Signature: Signature = SHA-256(Epoch + TransactionId + ApiKey) where, TransactionId is optional.

SHA-512 Example

Timestamp: 2019-01-14T20:42:13.216Z Milliseconds Since Epoch: 1547498533216 TransactionId: 07643622 ApiKey: 13f1fd1b-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-ca61878f2a44 Signature: SBF4wmV5LPCsb7Em+Yfa2RB4xtohV8s2ffYArhPUrZqjEsgUjbuVzBPyhgYma5x71T5y7dIHPJHE2uqL3Vp0Hg== Generate Signature: Signature = SHA-512(Epoch + TransactionId + ApiKey) where, TransactionId is optional.

JSON Response

v3 BIN Intelligence Request/Response

Single PANs

In the event where a merchant is passing single account number, they must pass at least 8 digits to allow Centinel to correctly identify the 3DS Method. The more number of digits a merchant passes for the PAN, Centinel has a better chance to accurately determine the 3DS Method.

JSON Request

JSON Response

Multiple Cards on File

Multiple Card-on-File Scenario:
Merchants can pass multiple account numbers (up to 3) on the BIN Intelligence API request (as shown below). This allows Centinel to run all 3DS Methods associated with these account numbers. This helps alleviate any need to re-run Device Data Collection, should the consumer select a different payment method (based on stored payment credentials). Merchants must pass at least 13 digits of the account number.

Handling the BIN Intelligence Response with ReferenceId

The BIN Intelligence response will include a ReferenceId and DeviceDataCollectionUrl if successful, these two values will be used when invoking the DeviceDataCollectionUrl within an iframe on your website.  We are essentially initiating the session with the Card BIN to full Card Number and returning back a ReferenceId to invoke the frontend DeviceDataCollectionUrl.

ReferenceId

AN(50)

This identifier represents the DeviceDataCollection session that has been started.

It must be passed in the Authentication JWT when invoking the DeviceDataCollectionUrl and during the cmpi_lookup request as a DFReferenceId.

Y

DeviceDataCollectionUrl

AN(100)

The DeviceDataCollectionUrl is the location to send the Authentication JWT when invoking the Device Data Collection process.
