| This document describes the request and response record formats for the VisaNet | |
| second generation Point-Of-Sale (POS) authorization terminals and VisaNet | |
| Authorization services. This document describes only record formats. Other | |
| documents describe communication protocols and POS equipment processing | |
| requirements. Figure 1.0 represents the authorization request which is | |
| transmitted to VisaNet using public communication services and the | |
| authorization response returned by VisaNet. Debit transactions include a | |
| third confirmation message. | |

| 3.0 AUTHORIZATION RECORD FORMATS | |
| This section contains the record formats for the authorization request, | |
| response and confirmation records. The ANSI X3.4 character set is used to | |
| represent all record data elements. (See Section 7) | |
| In the record formats on the following pages, the column heading FORMAT is | |
| defined as: | |
| "NUM" represents numeric data, the numbers 0 through 9, NO SPACES. | |
| "A/N" represents alphanumeric data, the printing character set. | |
| "FS" represents a field separator character as defined in ANSI X3.4 as | |
| a "1C" hex | |
| 3.01 REQUEST RECORD FORMAT | |
| Table 3.01b provides the record format for the authorization request records. | |
| Section 4 provides the data element definitions. | |
| The authorization request record is a variable length record. The record | |
| length will depend on the source of the customer data and the type of | |
| authorization request. Refer to Table 3.01c to determine which GROUPS to use | |
| from Table 3.01a | |
| TABLE 3.01a IS PROVIDED FOR REFERENCE REASONS ONLY. ALL NEW APPLICATIONS | |

| 4.18 CUSTOMER DATA FIELD | |
| This is a variable length field containing customer account or check acceptance | |
| ID data in one of three formats. The cardholder account information can be read | |
| d from the card or it may be entered manually. Additionally the terminal can be | |
| used for check authorization processing with the check acceptance identification | |
| number entered by the operator for transmission in this field. | |
| NOTE: For all POS terminals operated under VISA U.S.A. Operating Regulations, | |
| the following requirement must be available as an operating option if the | |
| merchant location is found to be generating a disproportionately high percentage | |
| of Suspect Transactions [lets get downright hostile about it] as defined in | |
| chapter 9.10 of the VISA U.S.A. Operating Regulations. Specifically, chapter | |
| 9.10.B.2 requires that: | |
| - The terminal must read the track data using a magnetic stripe reading | |
| terminal | |
| - The terminal must prompt the wage slave to manually enter the last four | |
| digits of the account number | |
| - The terminal must compare the keyed data with the last four digits of the | |
| account number in the magnetic stripe | |
| - If the compare is successful, the card is acceptable to continue in the | |
| authorization process and the terminal must transmit the full, unaltered | |
| contents of the magnetic stripe in the authorization message. | |
| - If the compare fails, the card should not be honored at the Point of Sale | |
| 4.18.1 TRACK 1 READ DATA | |
| This is a variable length field with a maximum data length of 76 characters. | |
| The track 1 data read from the cardholder's card is checked for parity and LRC | |
| errors and then converted from the six-bit characters encoded on the card to | |
| seven-bit characters as defined in ANSI X3.4. The character set definitions are | |
| provided in section 7 for reference. As part of the conversion the terminal | |
| will strip off the starting sentinel, ending sentinel, and LRC characters. The | |
| separators are to be converted to a "^" (HEX 5E) character. The entire | |
| track must be provided in the request message. The character set and data | |
| content are different between track 1 and track 2. The data read by a track 2 | |
| device can not be correctly reformatted and presented as though it were read by | |
| a track 1 device. [aw shucks] The converted data can not be modified by adding | |
| or deleting non-framing characters and must be a one-for-one representation of | |
| the character read from the track. | |
| 4.18.2 TRACK 2 READ DATA | |
| This is a variable length field with a maximum data length of 37 characters. | |
| The track 2 data read from the cardholder's card is checked for parity and LRC | |
| errors and then converted from the six-bit characters encoded on the card to | |
| seven-bit characters as defined in ANSI X3.4. The character set definitions are | |
| provided in section 7 for reference. As part of the conversion the terminal | |
| will strip off the starting sentinel, ending sentinel, and LRC characters. The | |
| separators are to be converted to a "^" (HEX 5E) character. The entire | |
| track must be provided in the request message. The character set and data | |
| content are different between track 2 and track 1. The data read by a track 1 | |
| device can not be correctly reformatted and presented as though it were read by | |
| a track 2 device. The converted data can not be modified by adding or deleting | |
| non-framing characters and must be a one-for-one representation of the character | |
| read from the track. [repetitive? you bet] | |
| 4.18.3 MANUALLY ENTERED ACCOUNT DATA (CREDIT CARD) | |
| The customer credit card data may be key entered when the card can not be read, | |
| when a card is not present, or when a card reader is not available. | |
| 4.18.3.1 MANUALLY ENTERED ACCOUNT NUMBER | |
| This is a variable length field consisting of 5 to 28 alphanumeric characters. | |
| The embossed cardholder data, that is key entered, is validated by the terminal | |
| using rules for each supported card type. For example, both Visa and Master | |
| Card include a mod 10 check digit as the last digit of the Primary Account | |
| Number. The Primary Account Number (PAN) is encoded as seven-bit characters | |
| as defined in ANSI X3.4. The PAN is then provided in the manually entered | |
| record format provided in Table 3.01b. The PAN must be provided without | |
| embedded spaces. | |
| 4.18.3.2 MANUALLY ENTERED EXPIRATION DATE | |
| This four-digit field contains the card expiration date in the form MMYY (month- | |
| month-year-year) | |
| 4.18.4 CHECK ACCEPTANCE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER | |
| The customer data may be card read or manually key entered for check acceptance | |
| transactions. | |
| 4.18.4.1 CHECK ACCEPTANCE ID | |
| This field is a variable length field consisting of 1 to 28 alphanumeric | |
| characters. The check acceptance vendor will provide the data format and | |
| validation rules to be used by the terminal. Typically the ID consists of a | |
| two-digit state code and an ID which may be the customer's drivers license | |
| number. | |
| 4.18.4.2 MANUALLY ENTERED CHECK ACCEPTANCE DATA | |
| This six-character field contains the customer birth date or a control code in | |
| the form specified by the check acceptance processor. | |
| 4.19 FIELD SEPARATOR | |
| The authorization record format specifies the use of the "FS" character. | |

| 4.20.1 STATIC KEY WITH TWENTY THREE BYTE CARDHOLDER ID | |
| NOTE: The 23 byte static key technology is NOT approved for use in terminals | |
| deployed in the Visa U.S.A. region. [thanks nsa!] | |
| When a PIN is entered on a PIN pad supporting 23 byte static key technology, the | |
| terminal will generate the following data: | |
| 1JFxxyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | |
| Where: | |
| 1J Header - PIN was entered | |
| f Function Key Indicator - A single byte indicating which, if any, | |
| function key was pressed on the PIN pad. This field is currently | |
| not edited. Any printable character is allowed. | |
| xx PIN Block Format - These two numeric bytes indicate the PIN | |
| encryption method used to create the encrypted PIN block. Visa | |
| currently supports four methods; 01, 02, 03, & 04. For more | |
| information, please refer to the VisaNet Standards Manual, Card | |
| Technology Standards, PIN and Security Standards, Section 2, | |
| Chapter 3, PIN Block Formats | |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Expanded Encrypted PIN Block Data - The encrypted | |
| PIN block format consists of 64 bits of data. Since the VisaNet | |
| Second Generation protocol allows only printable characters in | |
| data fields, these 64 bits must be expanded to ensure that no | |
| values less than hex "20" are transmitted. To expand the 64 bit | |
| encrypted PIN block, remove four bits at a time and convert them | |
| to ANSI X3.4 characters using Table 4.20. After this conversion, | |
| the 64 bit encrypted PIN block will consist of 16 characters that | |
| will be placed in the Expanded Encrypted PIN Block Data field. | |
| 4.20.2 STATIC KEY WITH THIRTY TWO BYTE CARDHOLDER ID | |
| When a PIN is entered on a PIN pad supporting 32 byte static key technology, | |
| the terminal will generate the following data: | |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa2001ppzz00000000 | |
| Where: | |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - Expanded Encrypted PIN Block Data - The encrypted | |
| PIN block format consists of 64 bits of data. Since the | |
| VisaNet Second Generation protocol allows only printable | |
| characters in data fields, these 64 bits must be expanded to | |
| ensure that no values less than hex "20" are transmitted. To | |
| expand the 64 bit encrypted PIN block, remove four bits at a | |
| time and convert them to ANSI X3.4 characters using table 4.20. | |
| After this conversion, the 64 bit encrypted PIN block will | |
| consist of 16 characters that will be placed in the Expanded | |
| Encrypted PIN Block Data field. | |
| 20 - Security Format Code - This code defines that the Zone | |
| Encryption security technique was used. | |
| 01 - PIN Encryption Algorithm Identifier - This code defines that the | |
| ANSI DES encryption technique was used. | |
| pp - PIN Block Format Code - This code describes the PIN block format | |
| was used by the acquirer. Values are: | |
| 01 - Format is based on the PIN, the PIN length, selected | |
| rightmost digits of the account number and the pad | |
| characters "0" and "F"; combined through an exclusive | |
| "OR" operation. | |
| 02 - Format is based on the PIN, the PIN length and a user | |
| specified numeric pad character. | |
| 03 - Format is based on the PIN and the "F" pad character. | |
| 04 - Format is the same as "01" except that the leftmost | |
| account number digits are selected. | |
| zz - Zone Key Index - This index points to the zone key used by the | |
| acquirer to encrypt the PIN block. Values are: | |
| 01 - First key | |

| Information respectively. | |
| 4.20.3 DUK/PT KEY WITH THIRTY TWO BYTE CARDHOLDER ID | |
| When a PIN is entered on a PIN pad supporting DUK/PT technology, the terminal | |
| will generate the following 32 bytes: | |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkssssssssss | |
| Where: | |
| aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - Expanded Encrypted PIN Block Data - The encrypted | |
| PIN block format consists of 64 bits of data. Since the | |
| VisaNet Second Generation protocol allows only printable | |
| characters in data fields, these 64 bits must be expanded to | |
| ensure that no values less than hex "20" are transmitted. To | |
| expand the 64 bit encrypted PIN block, remove four bits at a | |
| time and convert them to ANSI X3.4 characters using table 4.20. | |
| After this conversion, the 64 bit encrypted PIN block will | |
| consist of 16 characters that will be placed in the Expanded | |
| Encrypted PIN Block Data field. [repetitive? you bet] | |
| kkkkkk - Key Set Identifier (KSID) - Is represented by a unique, Visa | |
| Visa assigned, six digit bank identification number. | |
| ssssssssss - Expanded TRSM ID (PIN Pad Serial Number) & Expanded | |
| Transaction Counter - Is represented by the concatenation of these | |
| two hexadecimal fields. The PIN pad serial number is stored as | |
| five hex digits minus one bit for a total of 19 bits of data. The | |
| transaction counter is stored as five hex digits plus one bit for | |
| a total of 21 bits of data. These two fields concatenated | |
| together will contain 40 bits. Since the VisaNet Second | |
| Generation protocol allows only printable characters in data | |
| fields, these 40 bits must be expanded to ensure that no values | |
| less than hex "20" are transmitted. To expand this 40 bit field, | |
| remove four bits at a time and convert them to ASCII characters | |
| using table 4.20. After this conversion, this 40 bit field will | |
| consist of 10 characters that will be placed in the Expanded | |
| TRSM ID & Expanded Transaction Counter Field. | |
