!!! Overview
A listing of [EMV] terms that we have discovered.
* [Acquirer]
* [Acquiring Processor] - Entities that process transactions on behalf of [Acquirers] by connecting merchant transactions to [Payment Networks].
* Application Authentication Cryptogram] ([AAC])
* [Application Cryptogram]
* [Authorization Controls|Risk Parameter] offline [Risk Parameter]s. Information programmed into the chip application enabling the card to act on the issuer’s behalf at the point of transaction. These controls aid issuers in managing their below-floor limit exposure to fraud and credit losses. They may be tailored to the risk level of individual cardholders or groups of cardholders.
* [Application] A computer program and associated data that reside on an integrated circuit chip and satisfy a business or risk management function; i.e., a set of defined parameters, for transaction processing. Examples of
applications include payment, terminal behavior, CVM preferences, security keys, rules, risk policies, stored value, and loyalty. Programs on card chip that allow card to be used for payment, to store value and to get loyalty rewards.
* [AID] Application Identifier Defined within [ISO 7816]. - A data label that differentiates payment systems and products. The card issuer uses the data label to identify an application on the card or terminal. Cards and terminals use AIDs to determine which applications are mutually supported, as both the card and the terminal must support the same AID to initiate a transaction. Both cards and terminals may support multiple AIDs. An AID consists of two components, an RID (alpha and numeric) and a PIX (numeric only).
* [ATC] Application Transaction Counter - A counter, maintained by the chip card application (incremented by the chip), that provides a sequential reference to each transaction. A duplicate ATC, a decrease in ATC or a large jump in ATC values may indicate data copying or other fraud to the issuer.
* [ARPC] Authorization Response [Cryptogram] - A [Cryptogram] used for a process called Online Issuer Authentication. This [Cryptogram] is the result of the Authorization Request [Cryptogram] (ARQC) and the issuer’s authorization response encrypted by a DES key. It is sent to the card in the authorization response. The card validates the ARPC to ensure that it is communicating with the valid issuer.
* [ARQC] Authorization Request [Cryptogram] - A [Cryptogram] used for a process called Online Card Authentication. This [Cryptogram] is generated by the card for transactions requiring online authorization. It is the result of card, terminal, and transaction data encrypted by a DES key. It is sent to the issuer in the authorization or full financial request. The issuer validates the ARQC to ensure that the card is authentic and card data was not copied from a skimmed card.
* [CAM] Card Authentication Method - Also known as: Online Card Authentication or Card Authentication. In the context of a payment transaction, the method used by the terminal and/or issuer host system to determine that the payment card being used is not counterfeit.
* [Card Manufacturer] - Entity which converts raw materials into payment chip cards on behalf of the [Issuer|Card Issuer]; includes application loading, quality testing, and distribution to a personalization bureau.
* [Card Security Code]
* [Card Sequence Number]
* [CVR] Card Verification Results - The chip card internal registers that store information concerning the chip card functions performed during a payment transaction. The major chip card functions reflected in these registers are the PIN verification, the card risk management checks and the status of the previous transaction.
* [Cardholder]
* End product user - One who possesses a payment card. Customer to whom the card is issued.
* [Cardholder Verification Method] or [CVM]
* [Certificate]
* [CA|Certificate Authority] [Certificate Authority]
* [CAPK] [Certificate Authority Public Key] - In order to support data [Authentication] or [Offline Enciphered PIN], the terminal must store one or more [Certificate Authority]'s [Public Keys] for each RID. When required, the card will supply a [CAPK] index which is used to identify which of these keys should be used for that transaction.
* [Chip Card]
* [Chip Card Security Code]
* [CDA] [Combined DDA-Application Cryptogram] Generation - An authentication technique used in offline chip transactions that combines [DDA] functionality with the application [Cryptogram] used by the issuer to [authenticate] the card. The application [Cryptogram] is used to assure that the data in the transaction maintain integrity even after the transaction is completed.
* [Contact Chip Card]
* [Contactless Chip Card]
* [MSD] - Contactless Magnetic Stripe Data - An approach for implementing [Contactless Payments]. With contactless MSD, the message layout for Track 1 and Track 2 magnetic stripe data remains intact, with one notable difference. The chip on the card allows for the calculation of a dynamic card verification value [DCVV] based on a card-unique key and a simple application transaction counter [ATC]. The dynamic card verification value is passed in the message in the same field that was used for the original card verification value. The ATC is passed in the area reserved on the track layout for issuer discretionary data.
* [Contactless Payments]
* [Cryptogram]
* [Dual Interface Chip Card|Hybrid Card]
* [DDA] or Dynamic Authentication Data - Information that is used during a transaction to verify the card or the cardholder participating in the transaction and that changes from transaction to transaction.
* [DDA] Dynamic Data Authentication - An authentication technique used in offline chip transactions that calculates a [Cryptogram] for each transaction that is unique to the specific card and transaction. DDA protects against card skimming and counterfeiting.
* [Dynamic Card Security Code] A security code which changes for each transaction, replacing the static magnetic stripe-based card security code for a contactless transaction.
** DCID
** DCVC
** DCVC3
** DCVV
* [EEPROM] Also known as: [Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory]
* E2 - Memory that can be erased and reused, but does not require electrical power to maintain data. It is used to store information that will change, such as transaction counters or cardholder unique data like the account number. It is possible to load new data elements and applications into EEPROM after a card has been issued. Generally, after personalization and issuance few application data could be updated. This is linked to card security requirements.
* [EMF]
* EMV Migration Forum - The EMV Migration Forum is an independent, cross-industry body created by the Smart Card Alliance to address issues that require broad cooperation and coordination across many constituents in the payments
space to promote the efficient, timely, and effective migration to EMV- enabled cards, devices, and terminals in the United States.
* [EMV]
* EMV Compliant - Cards and terminals that meet security, interoperability, and functionality requirements outlined by EMVCo.

** Industry conferences and networking
* [ISO] [International Organization for Standardization]
* [Issuer Bank|Card Issuer]
* [IAC] [Issuer Action Codes] - Codes placed on the card by the issuer during card personalization. These codes indicate the issuer’s preferences for approving transactions offline, declining transactions offline, and sending transactions online to the issuer based on the risk management performed.
* Issuer Script A process by which an issuer can update securely the contents digitally stored on chip cards without reissuing the cards. Examples of issuer scripts include blocking and unblocking an account, blocking the entire card, changing the cardholder’s [PIN], and changing the cardholder’s Authorization Controls.
* [ISO 7816]
! Issuing Processor
An entity that facilitates card issuance activities on behalf of an issuer such as process payment transactions, card enrollment, preparing and sending the card personalization information to the card vendor, and maintaining the cardholder database. The issuer processor may provide only card issuing activities or may provide other ancillary services as well (e.g., web front-end administrative and cardholder account management applications, customer service, settlement and clearing, chargeback processing)
* [ISO 7816]
* [ISO 14443]
* [ISO 18092]
* Kernel - The set of functions required to be present on every terminal [or card reader] implementing a specific interpreter. The kernel contains device drivers, interface routines, security and control functions, and the software for translating from the virtual machine language to the language used by the real machine. In other words, the kernel is the implementation of the virtual machine on a specific real machine.
* [Liability Shift]

A standards-based wireless communication technology that allows data to be exchanged two-ways between devices that are a few centimeters apart. NFC-enabled mobile phones incorporate smart chips (called secure elements) that allow the phones to securely store the payment application and consumer account information and to use the information as a "virtual payment card".
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices used to establish communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them close.
! [Offline Authorization]
Authorizing or declining a payment transaction through card-to-terminal communication, using issuerdefined risk parameters that are set in the card to determine whether the transaction can be authorized
without going online to the issuer host system.
! [Offline Data Authentication]
A process whereby the card is validated at the point of transaction, using RSA public key technology to protect against counterfeit or skimming. Three forms of offline data authentication are defined by EMV:
SDA, DDA and CDA.
! Offline PIN
The [PIN] stored on the chip card (versus a PIN stored at the host). In a chip transaction using offline PIN, the PIN entered at the terminal is compared with the PIN stored securely on the chip card without going online to the issuer host for the comparison. Only the result of the comparison is passed to the issuer host system.
Two types of offline PIN are enciphered and plaintext.
! [Offline Only Terminal]
A chip terminal that is not capable of sending an online authorization request and where all transactions have to be approved offline.
! [Online Authorization]
Authorizing or declining a payment transaction by sending transaction information to the issuer and requesting a response real-time.
! [Online Capable Terminal]
A chip terminal that supports both offline and online processing.
! [Online Card Authentication]
Validation of a chip card by the issuer during online authorization to protect against data manipulation and skimming. See also [ARQC] (Authorization Request Cryptogram).
! [Online EMV]
A streamlined implementation of EMV that uses online card authentication and online transaction authorization together and requires 100 percent online authentication / authorization. Online EMV may be
appropriate for countries with a fast, reliable telecommunications infrastructure, such as the U.S.
! Online Issuer Authentication
Validation of the issuer by the card to ensure the integrity of the issuer. Also known as Issuer Authentication and Host Authentication. See also [ARPC] (Authorization Response Cryptogram).
! Online PIN
In a chip transaction, the process of comparing the cardholder's entered [PIN] with the PIN stored on the issuer host system. The PIN is encrypted by the POS terminal PIN pad before being passed to the acquirer system.
The PIN is then decrypted and re-encrypted as it passes between each party on its way to the issuer.
This is supported today with mag-stripe.
! [PCI DSS] Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
A framework developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council for developing a robust payment card data security process – including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents.

Codes placed in the terminal software by the acquirer. These codes indicate the acquirer’s preferences for approving transactions offline, declining transactions offline, and sending transactions online to the issuer based on risk management performed.
! [TVR] Terminal Verification Results
The result of the checks performed by the terminal during the [transaction].
! [TC] Transaction Certificate
A [Cryptogram] generated by the card at the end of all offline and online approved transactions. The [Cryptogram] is the result of card, terminal, and transaction data encrypted by a DES key. The TC provides information about the actual steps and processes executed by the card, terminal, and merchant during a given transaction and can be used during dispute processing.
! [Triple DES]
Also known as:
* [Data Encryption Standard|DES]
* [TDES|Triple DES]
* [3DES|Triple DES]
A sophisticated implementation of [DES], in which the procedure for encryption is the same but repeated three times.
First, the [DES] key is broken into three sub keys.
Then the data is encrypted with the first key, decrypted with the second key and encrypted again with the third key.
Triple DES offers much stronger encryption than [DES].
