1 Payeezy.com Security in Apple Pay In-App Development TM Unlike wallets of the past that saw weak consumer engagement, demand for Apple Pay is being driven directly by consumers. Today, developers are seeing the advantages of engaging in in-app development for Apple Pay and, in particular, coding apps using the Payeezy.com platform.

2 Introduction Never before has the timing been so right to bring everyone together in the payments ecosystem and open a new world of possibilities. It s an exciting time for consumers because convenient payment options are now built right into Apple s newest devices. Unlike previous attempts to introduce mobile payments/wallets, Apple has taken a consumer-centric approach to address mobile payments that includes participants from all over the ecosystem: card associations, banks, payments processors, mobile carriers, and more. What does this mean for consumers? Ubiquity and the expectation that merchants everywhere should start accepting mobile payments. It s also an exciting time for developers. When Apple Pay debuted on October 20, 2014, media hype concentrated mostly on in-store use with contactless terminals. However, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Apple SVP Eddie Cue stated that they expect most of their early transactions to be in-app. 1 Apple Pay in-app payments don t require the NFC chip that in-store Apple Pay payments require. But in-app payments do require Apple s TouchID. Consumers using in-app with Apple Pay can pay for items by using a single touch on their device s fingerprint sensor. This alleviates the previous time-consuming processes that required users to create an account and register a credit card. Five companies originally partnered with Apple to provide the API and SDKs necessary to develop in-app payment solutions for Apple Pay. First Data built an Apple Pay developer portal on Payeezy.com and was the first of the five to launch. Payeezy.com provides all the tools necessary to successfully incorporate payments in an app, set up a merchant account on behalf of your client and swiftly get paid. To make that happen, Payeezy.com provides the ios SDK, RESTful API, sample code, a knowledge base, developer blog, developer support and the ability to test and certify apps coded for Apple Pay payment processing. 1 Wakabayashi, D. a.

3 How Apple Pay In-App Payments Work For payment integrations that are created from APIs on the Payeezy.com site, or any of the other payment providers, the process of how inapp payment generally works is the same from Apple s prospective: Apple first receives encrypted transaction information and re-encrypts the information with a merchant-specific key before sending it to the merchant. Only anonymous transaction information is retained by Apple Pay. Even what the user is purchasing is not retained. When an app requests a payment, it calls an API to determine information such as whether the device supports Apple Pay, if the user has credit cards that work on a payment network accepted by the merchant, and other pieces of information it needs to conduct the transaction. Next, the app requests ios to present the Apple Pay payment sheet. The full set of information requested by the app isn t provided until the user authorizes the payment with Touch ID or the device passcode. Once authorized, the information presented in the Apple Pay payment sheet will be transferred to the merchant. The Secure Element then passes it to the Apple Pay Servers, which, in turn: decrypt the credential verify the nonce in the credential against the nonce sent by the Secure Element re-encrypt the payment credential with the merchant key associated with the Merchant ID. returns it to the device and the app via the API where the app sends it to the merchant system for processing. The merchant can then use its private key to decrypt the payment credential for processing. The Apple Pay in-app payment process requires a cryptographic nonce which is different from the in-store payment process of obtaining a value returned by the NFC terminal. The app calls the Apple Pay Servers to obtain the cryptographic nonce. The nonce and other transaction data is passed to the Secure Element that generates a payment credential that will be encrypted with an Apple key. firstdata.com 2014 First Data Corporation.

4 A New Standard in ization Gateway-Side ization However, there are some differences between how in-app solutions have traditionally processed payments and a new standard in tokenization with Apple Pay that are important to understand Most ecommerce developers are familiar with the concept of credit card vaults, which receive the and replace it with a token to use instead. Many of the most popular providers use these vaults in their payment gateways including First Data with the TransArmor solution. This type lets users put credit cards on file and can be referred to as gateway-side tokenization. The defining characteristic of these tokens is that they re scoped to a single merchant. They re useful for a developer who wants to keep a credit card on file to enable low-friction transactions. But they don t have the burden of securing and maintaining a database of s and the associated compliance issues. 2 Here s the authorization flow when a gateway-side token is used: $10 Sale $10 Sale $10 Sale App Site Gateway Aquirer Processer Payment Network $10 Sale Vault Gateway-Side ization Issuer Platform First Data has participated in gateway-side tokenization for years, not only for TransArmor, but also in how the company processes most web- and mobile-type transactions. 2 Beatty, J.

5 Network-Level ization With the onset of Apple Pay, a new form of tokenization emerged; one that is closely associated with EMV TM, and that payment networks such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc. built. This new form is referred to as network-level tokenization.

Payeezy.com and, as a result, any developer coding in-app solutions on the Payeezy.com platform uses network-level tokenization. Network-level tokens are very different. They are essentially aliases for s that are exchanged during an authorization by the network. These tokens are provisioned (see below) into the secure element on the iphone 6 and used in authorization flows (further protected with 3-D Secure see above). 4 3 EMVCo. (2014).

6 This is the typical way that a developer would provision a token:, Exp, CVV, AVS Site or App Payment Gateway Vault Validate Card Payment Network Provisioning As network-level tokenization evolves to other development outside the Apple Pay ecosystem, First Data will continue to be a leader. Key Key Takeaways Takeaways for for Network-Side ization They look like standard s -- e.g. they re 16 digits. They re mostly compatible with the existing payment processing infrastructure. The tokens are issued within a special BIN in the network s routing tables that flag it as a token rather than standard. They are exchanged via the network by Service Providers, a new role in the ecosystem. They are provisioned via a into a secure element of a mobile device or some other secure enough storage (perhaps Android HCE), facilitated by the issuing bank.

7 3-D Secure 3-D Secure is the way network-level and EMV tokenization is supported on Payeezy.com. 3-D Secure is an XML-based protocol developed by Visa and marketed as Verified by Visa. A version was adopted by MasterCard under MasterCard SecureCode, by JCB International as J/Secure, Diners Club as ProtectBuy SM and American Express as AMEX SafeKey. It is the on-line counterpart to in-store EMV solutions to prevent fraud. On Payeezy.com, 3-D Secure provides authentication from the issuing bank to use the token that has been provisioned onto the iphone.

The cryptographic algorithms used to sign and encrypt the payload. Refer to Apple Pay documentation Additional information needed to decrypt and verify the payment. The code below shows you what a transaction message to a gateway looks like before 3-D Secure and after 3-D Secure: Without 3-D Secure With 3-D Secure { } merchant_ref : Astonishing-Sale, transaction_type : purchase, method : credit_card, amount : 1299, currency_code : USD, credit_card : { type : visa, cardholder_name : John Smith, card_number : , exp_date : 1014, cvv : 123 } { merchant_ref : merchant-specific-info (This is optional), transaction_type : purchase, method : 3DS, 3DS : { type : A, version : EC_v1, merchantidentifier : mock-1, applicationdata : VGhpcyBpcyBzb21lIHRlc3QgZGF0YS4gIDAxMjM0NTY3ODk=, data : v6cqgdrjcjucldprksqit..., signature : AKCAMIIBoTCCAUgCAQEwCQYHTBFMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzE..., header : { applicationdatahash : 4b5745dd55d72886c06a2c65bb05..., ephemeralpublickey : MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0D..., publickeyhash : YmSWN7lj4+A6fVJVPicP8TgS7gI7oug..., transactionid : } firstdata.com 2014 First Data Corporation.

8 Certifying an App On Payeezy.com There are three levels of developer engagement on the developer portion of Payeezy.com: 1. Anonymous 2. Registered 3. Certified At each level, developers gain increasingly more access and capability. Anonymous Anonymous is just like it sounds. Developers at this level have an un-registered, anonymous account with the following resources: The Apple Pay SDK Starter Kit: Downloadable files and code needed to start creating an app Sample Project Access a sample project (named SampleCharge) in XCode to get hands-on familiarity with the code that drives Apple Pay and Payeezy. Frameworks First Data provides two frameworks that you can drop into your project to start accepting Apple Pay transactions: InAppSDK.framework Enables your app to communicate with the ios device. Masks the complexity of dealing with Apple APIs. PayeezyClient.framework ios client for the API. Enables the handshake with First Data through HTTP calls to the Payeezy API Developers at the anonymous level also have full access to Payeezy.com support, forums, FAQ area and the Payeeyz.com blog. This includes the ability to ask questions, get answers, get tips, see what s new with Payeezy and Apple Pay and learn about upcoming events. firstdata.com 2014 First Data Corporation.

9 Registered For more functionality including the ability to test accounts, a developer has to move to the registered level. This is provided through the Register Now link on the developer.payeezy.com site. This level requires developers to provide a name and address. Once the account is set up, three of the four credentials needed to get started developing an Apple Pay-enabled app are provided: an API Key, an API Secret and a Merchant. These credentials allow the developer to set-up a test account by clicking on My APIs. Payeezy.com Sandbox *Registered Payeezy.com developers can access the sandbox, which mimics a live Apple Pay production environment Create a set of test accounts Format your Payeezy API requests using your API Key, API Secret, Merchant and Apple Pay Merchant ID Run tests against the Payeezy API Review the responses and modify your code as necessary The fourth credential, an Apple Merchant ID, allows the ability to generate the Certificate Signing Request that Apple requires. This step can be complete only after registering on developer.payeezy.com. To obtain an Apple Merchant ID: 1. Go to developer.apple.com and log into your developer account. 2. From the Member Center, navigate to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. 3. Go to the Register Merchant IDs section. Your Merchant ID is located in the Identifier field. 4. Click Done At this point, the developer has full ability to code, create and test an Apple Pay-enabled app. firstdata.com 2014 First Data Corporation. All rights reserved. 9

10 Certified Developers should fully test their app to determine that it is working and bug-free before moving to the self-certification step. Then it is time to certify the app and start boarding merchants. To Certify an App on Payeezy.com 1. Log in to developer.payeezy.com 2. Navigate to Get Certified 3. Complete the form 4. First Data will validate the app s transactions and identify any issues 5. If everything is performing properly, certification is issued After a developer certifies an app, there are three steps that need to be taken before payments can start being accepted on the Apple Pay payment platform. 1. Add Merchants 2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request 3. Submit the Certificate Signing Request to Apple firstdata.com 2014 First Data Corporation. All rights reserved. 10

12 CONCLUSION In the context of the US market s development, Apple Pay has arrived at a better time than Google Wallet and has a much better chance of wide-spread adoption. New tokenization standards and the adoption of 3-D Secure technology are making the advantages of using Apple Pay clear in terms of security. With Apple Pay, the retailer only sees a token, but not which card or bank has been used. The retailer can t store bank card details, addresses or passwords because it simply does not get them in the first place. Companies like First Data, through their developer portal on Payeezy.com, are paving the way in creating cutting edge environments that utilize new security standards such as network-level tokenization and more. Unlike wallets of the past that saw weak consumer engagement, demand for Apple Pay is being driven directly from the consumer level. Increased privacy and better fraud control have great appeal to a market shell-shocked by repeated news of data security breaches at major retailers. Uncertainties do exist, with disadvantages voiced by some of the larger retailers as well as from companies like Google. Concerns about the inability to track purchases or the use of loyalty card solutions top the list. They point to Apple Pay s lack of global availability. Though alternative contactless systems have long since been adopted in other parts of the world, Apple Pay isn t scheduled to work outside the United States until As a result, some experts and research firms, such as Juniper, predict that Apple Pay will only have a small share of the market by However, developers are seeing the advantages of engaging in in-app development for Apple Pay and, in particular, coding apps using the Payeezy.com platform. Driven by an exploding app market - app analytics firm Distimo states in-app purchases represents 92% of the $10 billion consumers spent in the Apple App Store in developers are rushing to engage with companies such as First Data who are seen as leading the way in enabling the creation of in-app solutions on Apple Pay.
