Simulator Overview
Introduction
Introduction
The MasterCard Authorization Simulator provides members the ability to conduct detailed offline testing. The simulator software is a 32-bit, Microsoft Windows application that runs on a PC with Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 or higher. Members must install the simulator application software on a Pentium III 1GHz or compatible PC. Members establish the connection between the simulator PC and their host using a member provided network interface card (NIC) for TCP/IP connectivity. The resulting interface simulates the actual interface between the member host and the MasterCard interface processor (MIP). The MasterCard Authorization Simulator tests messages using the Customer Interface Specification message format. Refer to the Customer Interface Specification (CIS) manual for additional message format information. The simulator provides virtually all the testing capabilities that are available with online testing. With the simulator, members can conduct extensive preparations for online testing in an offline environment. By performing simulator testing, members can replicate the tests and procedures for scheduled online testing. This procedure will minimize the time required to perform online testing. MasterCard updates the simulator in accordance with the Banknet release cycle. Typically, the most current version of the simulator will be available three to four weeks before any online member testing facilities become available for the new release. The early availability of the simulator increases the amount of time that members will have to complete release testing. Using the simulator, members also are able to test internally developed systems or vendor-purchased systems. New members can use the simulator to test their systems for compliance with MasterCard processing requirements. The simulator provides an emulation tool for complete end-to-end application testing. The MasterCard Authorization Simulator allows members to test their system using one of two testing modes: IPS Host Testing (issuer) or APS Host Testing (acquirer).
IPS Host Testing: The member host is the issuer. The simulator generates
Jan 2008
Authorization Request/0100 messages and sends them to the member host. The simulator will validate the Authorization Request Response/0110 messages returned by the member host (Figure 1.1).

Simulator Overview
Introduction
APS Host Testing: The simulator responds to the Authorization Request/0100 messages sent by the member host. The simulator validates the received messages and then creates and returns to the member host, the appropriate Authorization Request Response/0110 messages (Figure 1.2).

Members cannot conduct IPS Host Testing and APS Host Testing simultaneously.

Introduction
To manage the different license profiles and hardware tokens, the License Profile dialog allows user selection of the appropriate license file and hardware token for the corresponding simulator. Once you have initiated the launch of the MasterCard Authorization Simulator (by double-clicking the simulator icon), the system quickly scans the PC for hardware tokens and simulator license files. The License Profiles dialog box (Figure 1.3) lists all simulator license files and hardware tokens detected on the simulator PC. A detected license file and the corresponding hardware token will have a status indicator of available. Any license file detected on the simulator PC that does not have a corresponding hardware token detected will have a status indicator of Token not found. Members may select from only those license profiles that have a status of available in order start the simulator application. If multiple hardware tokens or license files are detected, you must select the appropriate and available license file name in the License Profile dialog box before the system will continue to open the simulator application.
Note
If only a single hardware token and license file are detected during the launch of the simulator application, the License Profiles dialog box does not display and the simulator application starts uninterrupted.

Profiles Pane
Profiles are building blocks used by the simulator to create transaction messages. A transaction message is composed of different fields and tags which can be specified within a profile type. The Test Preparation module uses the profiles as a reference base when creating a transaction message. The profile categories are as follows:
Transaction Profilethe member can select one of these pre-defined profiles
as a basis for the composition of a message. These profiles may not be modified by the member.
Card Profilethese profiles contain member specific card information which the Transaction Profile references to create a message. The Card Profiles are divided into Reference and User categories. The member may modify the data elements in both profile categories but may not modify the Profile Name or description in the Reference category. A Reference category profile may be copied and pasted into the User category to be used as a template. Merchant Profilethese profiles contain merchant information which the
Transaction Profile references to create a message. The Merchant Profiles are divided into Reference and User categories. The member may modify only the User category in these profiles. A Reference category profile may be copied and pasted into the User category to be used as a template. The Profiles pane, located in the lower half of the Test Preparation window provides a work area for displaying and working with the Transaction, Card, and Merchant Profiles.

Warning
Members should not change the simulators PC date to a future date as this will cause the simulators security hardware token license to update the token access date. As a result, when the PC date is reset to the current date the license date becomes expired. An expired license date in the license file causes the security token to deny member access to the simulator. In some instances, if the PC date is manually changed to a distant future date, a new hardware token may be required to operate the simulator. A hardware token replacement fee will apply. See Chapters 4 and 5 for details about adding an instruction to test with a future settlement date.

The key encryption key (KEK) value is used to encrypt the PIN Encryption Key (PEK) (also known as the working key) when sent in a Network Management Request/0800 dynamic key exchange message. MasterCard recommends that members use the default value for the PIN Encryption Key. Triple DES Encryption The MasterCard Authorization Simulator supports Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) for PIN encryption processing. Triple DES encryption helps to reduce fraud losses by making it more difficult for criminals to decrypt cardholder information such as PINs. The Triple DES approach uses three passes through the DES algorithm. By increasing the number of passes through the DES algorithm and increasing the number of bits (key size) used in encryption, the resulting data is more difficult to decipher. The Triple DES encryption affects both acquirers and issuers. Members will have the option to encrypt PIN information using the single DES key algorithm or a triple DES key algorithm with double- or triple-length keys. Within the MasterCard Authorization Simulator, members can define the type of encryption method by entering the appropriate value(s) in the Crypto Keys of the Options dialog box. As with Single DES, Triple DES uses the KEK key to encrypt the PEK key in the Network Management Request/0800 (Class 1) key exchange message and uses the PEK key to encrypt the ANSI PIN Block in a PIN based transaction. The Triple DES algorithm used is encryption-decryption-encryption and the key encryption mode used is Electronic Codebook (ECB). MasterCard provides pre-defined Reference PIN Key Sets and BankNet PIN Key Sets that act as the default key sets. Members may not modify the Reference Key Sets but may create and modify User Key Sets.

Description Ignores all errors and continues processing of 0110 message. When selected, the simulator always returns DE 48 to the acquirer. When selected, this option allows the logging of zero length messages to the simulators history log, which members may view in either the Test Monitor or Test Results module. When this option is selected, each unannounced DE 48 subelement is identified in the history log file with a message Unannounced DE 48 subelements are present and are being passed through the network. When this option is selected, the simulator writes the transaction description in the history log providing an easier means of locating a specific transaction in either the Test Monitor or Test Results component. This option indicates that the issuer does or does not receive DE 48, subelement 58 in 0100 and 0400 messages. This option indicates that the issuer can or cannot process refund transactions where the value in DE 3, subfield 1 is equal to 20 in the 0100/110, 0120/0130, and 0400/0410 messages. This option indicates whether the issuer can or cannot receive ATM Balance Inquiry transactions where the value in DE 3, subfield 1 is equal to 30 and DE 48, position 1 (TCC) is equal to Z in the 0100/0400 messages. This option indicates that the issuer can or cannot receive DE 123. This option indicates that the acquirer can or cannot acquire Maestro (MSI) branded transactions. This option indicates that the acquirer can or cannot acquire Cirrus (CIR) branded transactions.

When testing specific scenarios, members may need a clean M/Chip Crypto log to record the smart card interim cryptographic calculations for that testing session. To create a clean log, members need to rename the existing log before testing. As soon as testing begins, a new M/Chip Crypto log captures all the appropriate input data values and output results for the smart card interim cryptographic calculations for that testing session. See M/Chip 4 Version 1.1 Security & Key Management for details concerning smart card interim cryptographic calculations. The cryptographic calculation functions contained in the log are: Function : DeriveMasterKeys Function: DeriveSessionKeys Function: Generate ARQC Function: Generate ARPC Function: Verify MAC Function: DecryptData Confidentiality Function: EncryptData Confidentiality Function: Generate MAC
The following example shows the log capture for a DeriveMasterKeys function.

Simulator Professional Features
Navigator Options
Within the Navigator, members may access the following enhanced options that are available only in the Professional version of the MasterINQ simulators.
User Management
There may be times when multiple users need to test on the same simulator or even a single user who may need to test different scenarios. Since not all users or test scenarios need the same test data, the Professional version of the simulator provides a way of managing and separating the user-defined data for each user or testing scenario. Through the User Management feature members may create and manage multiple user profile sets that reference different user-defined data entered in the following simulator categories:
Profiles
TrxProfiles_User (Transaction profiles) CardProfiles_User (Card Profiles) MerchantProfiles_User (Merchant Profiles) NetworkResponseProfiles_User (Network Response Profiles) IssuerResponseprofiles_User (Issuer Response Profiles) AcquirerID_User BinTable_User CVC3KeySet_User CVCKeySet_User HMACKeySet_User MChipKeySet_User PINKeySet_User

The Self Testing mode does not require a physical host to be connected to the simulator, thereby providing an ideal mode for training and demonstration to easily simulate any erroneous situation without impacting the host system.
Testing in a Simulated Environment
The Self Testing mode allows members to create test cases and test them in a simulated environment before testing them against a live system.

Reference implementation
The Self Testing mode can be used to verify how the host system should behave. The member can process a test case, once against the simulated environment and once against the live environment, and analyze the differences. Members may access the Self Testing mode from the Navigator pane Testing tab in the Professional version.

The Test Preparation module preprocesses the imported file data validating the specified profile names for each record. The import process takes the data from the .txt or .csv file and converts it into the appropriate format and layout for the simulator. Use the following procedure to import a transaction file from a text file:
Step 1. Action Within the Test Preparation module, click the button.
Import Transaction File
2. 3.
Select a transaction .txt or .csv file in the Select File dialog box and click Open. Click OK in the Import Profile Data dialog box.
The import function creates an Imported group (folder) that is appended to the existing transaction file for each import processed. This could result in multiple folders or groups with the Imported name. Transaction File Import Format Conditions The Test Preparation module requires that certain conditions exist in the import file for a successful import. The Header Line is the first line of the text file and contains the names of the fields that are present in each line of the input file. The Header Line contains the following information:
(Group) This field is mandatory.
This field contains the path, group names and sub-group names where the data will be created. If the path is not valid then a critical error occurs and the import fails.
A-11
Professional Version
Simulator Professional Features
(Name)
This field contains the name of the transaction. If this field is not specified, the name of the Transaction Profile will be used as the name for the transaction.
(Description)
This field contains the name of the Transaction Profile. If the Transaction Profile is specified, a search is performed in the User and Reference Transaction Profiles for the first occurring match. If the full Transaction Profile path is entered, this will be used to determine the transaction profile. If the Transaction Profile is not specified, then DE 003.01 needs to be specified. The first occurrence of this value will be used to select the transaction profile. If both the Transaction Profile and DE 003.01 are not specified in the Header Line then a critical error occurs and the import fails. The import function will fail if the table header row is not in the first row position of the importing file. The lines following the Header Lines contain the values (comma separated). The number of transactions per input file is limited to 2500. If there are more than 2500 records, the import will fail. If a critical error occurs on the Header Line, the import will fail. When the Header Line is correct and a critical error occurs on a record, the pre-process continues with the next record but the import fails. A typical input table would be constructed as follows:
(Group) John.nomer John.nomer (Name) (Description) User Default 34 12 (Transaction 002 profile) CAT_2 CAT_2 003 000000 000000 018 6011 3412

For example, a member adds a validator of DE 39 (Response Code) with a value of 01 to an Authorization Request/0100 message in the Test Preparation. The Authorization Request/0100 message is processed through the Test Monitor and as part of the testing process; the simulator compares the expected validator value of 01 in DE 39 to that of the corresponding DE 39 value of 00 in the Authorization Request Response/0110 message. The validation results then display in the Test Monitor and in the Test Results History Log and are identified with either a red X (no match) or a green checkmark (match). In this example, the validation summary is marked with an X.

A validation summary displays after the corresponding transaction in both the Test Monitor and Test Results log. Members can use the Validator options when performing simulator testing for MasterCard.
