Subject: Buypass Front End Dual Pin Processing for Petroleum Merchants
Dated: November 19, 2009
Announcement:
In order to support the Interlink debit network mandate to fully use Triple DES DUKPT by July 1, 2010, First Data supports multiple encryption methods/keys on a single merchant profile/single bank fiid for BuyPass front end petroleum merchants as of October 1, 2009. This allows a Buypass petroleum merchant processing all transactions on a single Merchant ID/Terminal ID to process inside PIN Debit transactions as Triple DES DUKPT but continue to process PIN Debit transactions at the pump as Single DES DUKPT.
Upon proper Petroleum merchant set up at the host, Transactions will continue to come into the BuyPass host and use the encryption type that is noted on the BuyPass profile UNLESS the entry is "X".
When the entry is "X" the host will determine which encryption method will be used based on the indoor/outdoor indicator (included in the message format). The value of “X” is a new encryption value and has a description of dual pin processing.
All transactions that include the "indoor" indicator (and have “X” as the encryption type) will have the ability to be processed with Triple DES DUKPT encryption method while transactions that include the "outdoor" indicator (and have “X” as the encryption type) will remain as Single DES DUKPT encryption method.
