How to Generate Auth Data

Some of our API endpoints require that you generate auth data per call.
AuthData is a combination of your payment’s sensitive data, mainly PAN, PIN, Expiry Date, and CVV2.

To generate auth data in Java and C#, you'll need the BouncyCastle library, so please download the appropriate version for your platform. Additionally, you'll be provided with a public key exponent and a modulus.

Sample implementations exist for PHP and NodeJS on GitHub.

String authDataVersion = "1";
String pan = "5060990580000217499";        // Payment Card
String expiryDate = "2004";                //Card Expiry date: April (04), 2020 (20) - YYMM
String cvv2 = "111";                       // Card CVV2
String pin = "1111";                       // Card pin
String authData = getAuthData(authDataVersion, pan, pin, expiryDate, cvv2);
System.out.println("AuthData : " + authData);
