Verify PIN data

PDFRSS

Verify PIN data functions are used for verifying whether a pin is correct. This typically involves comparing the pin value previously stored against what was entered by the cardholder at a POI. These functions compare two values without exposing the underlying value of either source.

Validate encrypted PIN using PVV method

In this example, we will validate a PIN for a given PAN. The PIN is typically provided by the cardholder or user during transaction time for validation and is compared against the value on file (the input from the cardholder is provided as an encrypted value from the terminal or other upstream provider). In order to validate this input, the following values will also be provided at runtime: The key used to encrypt the input pin (this is often an IWK), PAN and the value to verify against (either a PVV or PIN offset).

If AWS Payment Cryptography is able to validate the pin, an http/200 is returned. If the pin is not validated, it will return an http/400.
