In the EMV protocol the IMK(ac) is used to generate the session key, which is used to generate an ARQC. The IMK(ac) is exclusive to the chip and the card issuer host
As far as I understand, the card issuers do not share those keys with the card brand (i.e. Visa cannot validate your ARQC, only "The Bank of Peoria" who issued the card can).
When an EMV Apple Pay transaction occurs in which the phone generates the ARQC, which IMK(ac) key is it using? Presumably it can't be the IMK(ac) from the original card, and thus the card issuer cannot validate the ARQC.
If it's an Apple IMK(ac) being used, then does this mean that it is Apple validating that ARQC?
If this is the case, what's the transaction flow that gives Apple the opportunity to validate the ARQC?
[Edited for clarity]
回答1:
Encryption will always use Session keys derived from an IMKac for Cryptogram generation. However the IMK need not be the same as what your physical card uses( you can manage this using a different CVN as host). The same key will be available with the payment schemes(Visa, MasterCard etc.) who will validate the cryptogram during the transaction and send you the results of verification.
Wallet CVNs are different. If you as a card issuer host wants to verify the cryptogram, then you should have the IMKac for the CVN and your HSM should support the CVN. Ideally you can rely on the verification results code (in 44 for Visa and 48 SE71 for MC) to decide whether it can be approved or no.
In case if you have more documentations from Apple you can share, I would love to go through those :-) .
