Token validation failed (Error Code: 9209)

I am using the fund transfer API. Trying to use the same request in the reference guide. link : https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/visa_direct/reference#visa_direct__funds_transfer

 

Two-Way SSL connection was successful on the helloworld app. so i dont think there is something wrong with the userid, password or the certificates.

Re: Token validation failed (Error Code: 9209)

Hey @malviyaash18,

 

To further investigate, please provide the following information:

1. End Point
2. Request Header
3. Request Body
4. Response Header (include the x-correlation-id)
5. Response Body

Using SoapUI, you can find the x-correlation-id in the Raw Tab of the response header.

 




Thanks,

Diana

Hey @pravin,

 

Message Level Encryption

Message Level Encryption (MLE) on Visa Developer provides an enhanced security for message payload by using asymmetric encryption technique (public-key cryptography). The encryption requires separate key-pairs for Request or Response payloads of the transaction:

  • Visa Encryption key pair: The client encrypts the request (message payload) using the Visa public key and Visa decrypts the payload using its private key (Server Encryption Certificate).
  • Client Encryption key pair: Visa will encrypt the response (message payload) using the public key (of client, also known as, Client Encryption Certificate) and client decrypts the payload using its private key.

 

You can generate the encryption keys in the Sandbox, Certification, or Production environments.

 

The message encryption is implemented via symmetric encryption using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Galois Counter Mode (GCM) with 128 bit key size. The encryption of keys is supported using RSA Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) with 2048 bit key size.

 

The following keys are required for making a call:

  1. Mutual SSL
  2. Client Request Encryption Key Pair
  3. Visa Response Encryption Pair

 

Refer to the Sample Code section for a code snippet that shows MLE implementation for one of the APIs Visa Payments Processing.

Generating Encryption/Decryption Keys (Sandbox)

To generate the encryption/decryption key pairs in the Sandbox environment:

  1. Create a project using Visa Developer dashboard and select the APIs. Note: If you add Visa Payments Processing APIs in your project, you cannot add any other APIs in the project.
  2. Go to Credentials > Encryption/Decryption section. Note: Not all APIs in your project will require these credentials. The section will list the APIs for which you will require to use the Encryption credentials.
  3. Generate the key-pairs by selecting the option Generate Key-ID. This generates a Unique ID (UID), which is associated with your project and identifies the associated key-pairs. Note: This Key-ID must be included as a request header in API calls.
  4. Generate a CSR for provisioning the Client encryption key pair. The UID field of the CSR must be the generated Key-ID. This is required for validation purposes. The Visa encryption key pair is generated internally by Visa.
  5. Click on Add CSR. This provides two options to generate a CSR:
    • Generate a CSR for me: Use this option if you want Visa to generate a CSR for you. The Key-ID field (UID in CSR) is auto-generated in this case. Make sure you download the certificate Private key.
    • Submit my own CSR: Use this option if you have a generated CSR. Click on Browse to upload the CSR and click Confirm.

Note: The CSR file you create must include the following values:

- UID (Key-ID) provided by Visa Developer

- Country Name (2 letter code): <country name>

- State or Province Name (full name):<state name> 

- Locality Name (eg, city):<city name>

- Organization Name (eg, company):<organization name>

- Organizational Unit Name (eg, section):<department/section name>

- Common Name (eg, your name or your server`s  hostname, fully qualified domain name):<host name> 

 

Note: For all fields, only the following ASCII characters are allowed:

- Space character

- Upper case, A to Z

- Lower case, a to z

- Digits, 0 to 9

- Dash (-)

 

Once the CSR is validated, the keys are provisioned. You can then view the public certificates under the associated Key-ID:

  • Client Encryption Certificate
  • Server Encryption Certificate (also known as, Visa Encryption Certificate)

The Key-ID and the associated key-pairs status are now marked as ACTIVE and ready for use.

You can also generate a second set of key-pairs, if required. This is to help you in cases where your current key-pair is compromised or certificate is about to expire. Follow the step (1-5) mentioned above to generate the second key-pair. Finally, make sure you update your project accordingly to use the right key-pair.

 

Note: You cannot have more than two key-pairs ACTIVE at any point of time.

If you have any issues with key-pair provisioning, contact developer@visa.com.

 

Generating Encryption/Decryption Keys (Certification and Production)

Once you are ready to promote your project from Sandbox to Certification or Production environment, you must submit your project to Visa for review and approval. Go to the dashboard and select Go Live, and submit all project related information. Visa will review and process your promotion request. For details, refer to Go Live section.

To generate encryption key pairs in Certification or Production environment:

  1. Reach out to your Visa representative at developer@visa.com for commencing the process of provisioning your project Encryption keys in Certification or Production.
  2. Visa representative will generate a Key-ID and provide you the same for generating your Encryption CSR. Note: The Key-ID is unique for each environment (Sandbox, Certification and Production) and will need to be included as a request header in API calls.
  3. Generate CSR using the steps outlined in Encryption CSR Generation section below.
  4. Send the generated CSR to your Visa representative. Note: Make sure you store the private key as part of CSR generation safely.
  5. Visa will initiate the Encryption key-pair provisioning (both client encryption and server encryption keys). Note: The key-pair provisioning in Certification and Production environment requires a lead-time of at-least 3 days. Also, until your request is approved, the key-pair (key-ID) will be in Pending state on the dashboard.
  6. Once the key pair is provisioned, the public certificates will be available for download from the Project dashboard (Credentials Encryption/Decryption section) in promoted environment (Certification or Production). 

 

Encryption CSR Generation

The CSR file you create must include the following values:

  • Country Name (Two-letter International Standards Organization (ISO) 3166-1 country code. For example: US) : <country name>
  • State or Province Name (full name) : <state name> 
  • Locality Name (e.g. city) : <city name>
  • Organization Name (e.g. company) : <organization name>
  • Organizational Unit Name (e.g. section) : <department/section name>
  • Common Name (e.g. your name or your server`s hostname, fully qualified domain name) : <host name> 
  • UID (Key-ID) provided by Visa Developer

 

Note: For all fields, only the following ACSII characters are allowed:

  • Space character
  • Upper case, A to Z
  • Lower case, a to z
  • Digits, 0 to 9
  • Dash (-)

 

Example commands using Java keytool (a key and certificate management utility):

keytool -genkeypair -alias client -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore <<your-keystore-name>>.jks -storepass <your-password>> -keypass <<your-password>> -dname "CN=<<your-domain-name>>, OU=<<organization-unit>>, O=<<organization-name>>, L=<<locality>>, ST=<<state>>, C=<<country name>>, UID=<<unique-encryption-Key-ID >>"

keytool -certreq -alias client -keystore <<your-keystore-name-.jks>> -storepass <<your-password>> -keypass <<your-password>> -file <<your-csr-file-name-.csr>>

 

Revoking Encryption/Decryption Key-pairs

To revoke a key-pair, use the Revoke option for that Key-ID. This would invalidate the key-ID and associated certificates from any further use. You must make changes accordingly in your project as well to avoid any issues.

 

Note:

  • Revoke is available only in Sandbox environment.
  • You cannot generate a Key-ID from Visa Developer for the Certification and Production environments. 
  • Contact developer@visa.com, if you are unable to revoke a key-pair from Visa Developer
