1. Introduction

This chapter describes the outline of this document.

1.1 Objectives of this Document

This document describes how SET (SET Secure Electronic Transaction) works within the IOTP (Internet Open Trading Protocol).

1.2 Scope of this specification

1.2.1 The version of IOTP specification

This document is written based on IOTP Version 1.0 [RFC 2801].

1.2.2 The version of SET specification

This document is written based on SET Version 1.0 [SET].

1.2.3 The version of IOTP Architecture document

This document is written based on IOTP Payment API document Version 1.0 [IOTP Payment API].

1.3 Audience

This document is indented for readers who are familiar with the following documents:

   1) IOTP Specification Version 1.0 [RFC 2801]
   2) SET Specification, in particular Book 2:Programmer's Guide and
      Book3:Formal Protocol Definition,
   3) External Interface Guide to SET Secure Electronic Transaction
   4) Internet Open Trading Supplement: Architecture and Payment API
      [IOTP API]

1.4 Notation

SET Messages and Elements are described with the prefix "SET".

Examples:
SET PRes
SET OD
SET SaleDetail

1.5 Terminology

This document uses the following terms:

   SET/IOTP             The specification described in this document.
   SET related message  Both SET Messages and SET Initiation Messages

2. Requirements & Development Policy

This chapter describes the requirements and development policies of SET/IOTP.

The requirements of SET/IOTP are as follows:

  • To be based on SET specifications. Interoperability at the payment level must be maintained.
  • To not enforce modifications which are specific to SET/IOTP. General features of IOTP should not be tampered with to cater to a particular payment method.
  • To keep integrity between IOTP and SET. Inconstancy must not be raised between IOTP and SET elements when they have the same meaning.

The development policy of SET/IOTP is as follows:

  • To minimize the number of message round trips
  • To minimize the length of messages

3. Business Models

This chapter describes the difference in entity models between SET and IOTP, the definitions of Trading Roles in SET/IOTP, and the scope of SET/IOTP.

3.1 Entity models between SET and IOTP

The following table describes how SET and IOTP entities correspond to each other.

   |    IOTP Entity                SET Entity         |
   | ------------------------------------------------ |
   | Consumer        <--->      Card Holder           |
   | Merchant        <--->      Merchant (Initiation) |
   | Payment Handler <--->      Merchant (Payment)    |
   | Delivery Handler<--->      None                  |
   | None            <--->      Acquirer              |

3.2 Role of Participants

The following table describes the trading roles in SET/IOTP.

   Trading Roles        Role
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   Consumer             An Individual who purchases goods and/or
                        services, and pays for the value received
                        by choosing a SET Transaction.  This
                        individual corresponds with the
                        CardHolder in SET.
   
   Merchant             An organization that provides goods and/or
                        services for purchase, accepts payment
                        methods, delivers invoices and triggers
                        payment processes.
   
   Payment Handler      An organization that processes negotiations on
                        payments including SET payment transactions.
   
   Delivery Handler     An Organization that ships digital or physical
                        goods to the Consumer.
   
   Customer Care        The same as in [RFC 2801].
   Provider
   
   Merchant Care        The same as in [RFC 2801].

3.3 Scope of Transaction Types

The types of IOTP transactions that are supported in this document are as follows:

  • Brand Independent Baseline Purchase when SET is used for payment
  • Brand Dependent Baseline Purchase when SET is used for payment
  • Cash Advances (Brand Independent and Brand Dependent case)
  • Status Inquiry on SET payments

3.4 Types of transaction not in scope

The types of transactions that are NOT covered in this document are as follows:

  • Credit Reversal Process
  • Customer Care Service with Consumer Related SET Certificate Registration
  • Customer Care Service with Consumer Related SET Certificate Registration Inquiry

4. Architecture of SET/IOTP

SET/IOTP Architecture is as follows:

   IOTP client (Consumer)  <--------------->  IOTP server (Merchant)
         ^                     Internet             ^
         | IOTP Payment                             | IOTP Payment
         |    API                                   |    API

Figure 2 SET/IOTP Architecture

IOTP Application Core (OAC): Software that processes IOTP messages. IOTP Payment Bridge (OPB): Interface between OAC and Existing Payment Software. SET Bridge is also an interface between OAC and SET Core.

Existing Payment Software (EPS): Existing Software that processes Payments. The SET Core is software that supports mechanisms in SET specification from Book1 to Book3. EPS does NOT necessarily have to implement the SET Initiation Processor, which is specified in SET EIG. SET Related Module Both SET related OPB and EPS.

5. Trading Types of SET/IOTP

This chapter describes the outline of SET/IOTP trading types.

5.1 Baseline Purchase

Three steps will take place in a Baseline Purchase in the following order:

   (1) Offer Step

Consumer selects goods/services over the Internet, for instance on the web, and then chooses the payment method (SET is selected), the SET brand, the payment currency, and then confirms the invoice.

There are two Offer Process types, Brand Independent and Brand Dependent.

(1-a) Brand Independent Purchase

In a Brand Independent Purchase, the Merchant sends the TPO Block and Offer Response Block simultaneously after the consumer's purchase decision. The Brand Independent Purchase has the merit of eliminating one round of messages compared with the Brand Dependent Purchase because the contents of the Offer Response Block (for example, the description on the invoice) do not change based on the selected brand.

(1-b) Brand Dependent Purchase

Brand Dependent Purchase is used when the contents of the Offer Response Block are dependent on the selected Payment Brand. With this method, the currency selection and discounts based on payment method can be implemented.

   (2) Payment Step

The Consumer confirms the order and then pays for the order with a SET Transaction. The SET Transaction messages will be encapsulated in IOTP Messages.

   (3) Delivery Step

After completing the Payment, the Consumer receives the goods/services via either on-line or physical delivery.

5.2 Cash Advances

Cash Advances can be made via a Value Exchange Transaction in IOTP. A first Payment by SET and a second Payment by some other payment mechanism is supported in Baseline IOTP. The Cash Advance has two types - Brand Independent and Brand Dependent Cases.

5.3 Status Inquiry

A Consumer can send a SET Payment Inquiry in IOTP. The SET Message is encapsulated in an IOTP Message.

6. General Flow of SET/IOTP

This chapter illustrates the general SET/IOTP message flows.

6.1 Baseline Purchase

Baseline purchases consist of two types, Brand Independent Purchase and Brand Dependent Purchase. Each type is illustrated in the charts below.

6.1.1 Brand Independent Baseline Purchase

The general flow of a Brand Independent Purchase is as follows:

8. SET dependent Process

This chapter describes the core concepts for the development of SET/IOTP.

8.1 Relationships between them for IOTP Purchase/Cash Advances

This document describes SET Initiation Messages based on the [SET EIG]. Merchant sends the 1st SET Initiation Message to the Consumer in order to activate a SET payment transaction. After this message, the other SET Initiation Messages (JPO, etc.) and the SET payment Transaction (SET PinitReq message, etc.) are exchanged between the Consumer and the Payment Handler.

   +------------+                 +----------+
   |            |                 |          |
   |            |<----------------| Merchant |
   |            | 1st SET InitMsg |          |
   |            |                 +----------+
   |  Consumer  |                 +----------+
   |            |                 |          |
   |            |<--------------->|   P.H.   |
   |            | Other SET Init/ |          |
   +------------+ SET Message     +----------+

Figure 11 Relationship between IOTP Messages and SET Messages

When the Merchant sends any data (e.g., SET SaleDetail) except a SET Related messages (e.g., SET PinitRes message), it can send it by two different methods:

(a) The Merchant sends the data via the Consumer.
(b) The Merchant sends the data out-of-band.

In case (a), the Merchant sends the data by encapsulating it into TradingRoleData.PackagedContent inside the Offer Response Block sent to Consumer. The data is copied to the Payment Request Block and sent to the Payment Handler. This case assumes that the format of the data is already agreed upon between the Merchant and the Payment Handler.

This document does not specify case (b).

8.2 Definition of Identifiers

8.2.1 Definition of BrandId

BrandId should be used registered identification for IANA. Now, the following BrandIds have registered:

   Amex, Dankort, JCB, Maestro, MasterCard, MICOS, VISA, atCredits,
   EZpay, GeldKarte, Mondex, paybox

8.2.2 Definition of ProtocolBrandId

ProtocolBrandID is defined as follows:

<Premise> SET BrandID is defined as brand[:Product]. ([] is indicated as optional.) In SET, The brandID is a brand name, which corresponds to the brand of the payment card. Additionally the Product is a product name, which is defined as the type of product within the specific brand such as Gold Card.

Set IOTP ProtocolBrandId as follows:

      brand:Product:PCN

In here,

   o  The brand above is the same as the sub data of SET BrandID, as
      Brand Name (brand), defined in SET.
   o  Product above is the same as the sub data of SET BrandID, as
      Product Name (Product), defined in SET.
   o  PCN above is the Promotional Card Name, and is written in the SET
      Certificates.

Example:

      Visa:Gold:WalMart

Since SET Brand ID has a colon between brand and Product, the two colons should be able to delimit Brand, Product, and PCN.

Product and PCN can omit if necessary. For the detail of these definitions are follows:

(1) The case of omitting Product

      Definition:   brand::PCN
      Example:      VISA::UC_VISA

(2) The case of omitting PCN

      Definition:  brand:Product
      Example:     VISA:Gold

(3) The case of omitting Product, PCN

      Definition:  brand
      Example:     VISA

Invalid Examples:

      VISA:Gold:
      VISA::
      VISA:
      ProtocolBrandId which there is no brand.

8.2.3 Definition of ProtocolId

Protocolld defines as follows:

ProtocolId := SETName + Version
SETName := "SET"
Version := "v" + version + "." + revision

Where the version is number matching a major SET version, and the revision is the number matching a minor SET revision.

Example:
"SETv1.0","SETv2.0"

NOTE: In the current version of SET/IOTP, "SETv1.0" is fixed as ProtocolId.

8.2.4 Relationship between Ids

ProtocolBrandId must be unique and depends on BrandId and ProtocolId. The followings are map among BrandId and ProtocolId, which have registered in IANA, and ProtocolBrandId.

      BrandId      ProtocolId   ProtocolBrandId
      -----------------------------------------
      Amex         SETv1.0      Amex
      Dankort      SETv1.0      Dankort
      JCB          SETv1.0      JCB
      MasterCard   SETv1.0      MasterCard
      Nicos        SETv1.0      Amex
      VISA         SETv1.0      VISA

Regarding to the BrandIds except above, the BrandId registrant (e.g., credit card company) MUST register it in order to be able to map one to one between ProtocolBrandId and the pair of BrandId and ProtocolId.

8.3 Process prior to Payment

8.3.1 FindAcceptedPaymentProtocol Function

(1) Parameter of PayProtocolPackagedContent

      Name        : O : This is not used in SET/IOTP.
      Content     : M : This should be set "PCDATA".
      Transform   : M : This is set "BASE64".
      ContentData : M : SET specific protocol data.  Includes data
                        that is used to create the 1st SET Initiation
                        Message that is not contained in other
                        IOTP elements.

(2) Parameter in the ContentData

Parameters of ContentData are described below. The Field Values follow the [SET EIG].

      Field                      Required
      ------------------------------------
      MIME-Version               Optional
      Content-Transfer-Encoding  Mandatory
      SET-Initiation-Type        Mandatory
      SET-LID-M                  Optional
      SET-InstallTotalTrance     Optional
      SET-Recurring              Optional
      SET-Ext-OID                Optional
      SET-Ext-Data               Optional
      SET-Ext-Mandatory          Optional
      SET-Echo-In-Response       Optional
      SET-Echo-In-Request        Optional

For Example:

      MIME-Version: 1.0
      Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary
      SET-Initiation-Type: Payment-Initiation
      SET-Recurring: 31 19960223
      SET-Service-URL: http://www.custcare.com/index.html
      SET-LID-M: 515A533033363632594B

Note: The contents in ProtoclPackagedContent must be US-ASCII and encoded by BASE64.

8.3.2 FindPaymentInstrument Function

(1) Information of PayInstrument

Returns a list of Payment Instrument IDs related to the BrandId and ProtocolBrandId. In this document, BrandId and ProtocolId are defined in section 8.2.

In this document, Brand has two recognized meanings in SET/IOTP, as follows:

Brand as Primary Brand:

The Primary Brand is the Brand which is defined as brand in SET, such as VISA, MasterCard, Nicos.

Brand as Dual Brand or Promotional Brand:

The Dual Brand is the payment instrument which has two Brand, such as UC-VISA (UC Card and VISA Card) This style is popular in Japan.

A Promotional Brand means that, if the Consumer pays with that Brand, then the Consumer will receive some additional benefit such as discount or frequent flyer point.

  1. ProtocolBrandId as a Primary Brand

Example:

"MasterCard", "MasterCard::UC", "MasterCard:Gold:" and "MasterCard::WalMart" are all MasterCard Brands.

  1. ProtocolBrandId as a Dual Brand or a Promotional Brand

Example:

"MasterCard::UC" is Dual Brand of "MasterCard" and "UC". "SET:MasterCard::WalMart" is Promotional Brand of MasterCard- WallMart.

The SET Bridge receives the ProtocolBrandId from the OAC in the FindPaymentInstrument Function,

(1) If the accepted ProtocolBrandId is XXX:YYY

The SET Related Module searches for ProtocolBrandIds with the string "XXX:YYY:*" (* is wild card), the corresponding PaymentInstrumentIds of all ProtocolBrandIds with the matching Primary Brand (regardless of also being a Dual Brand or Promotional Brand) will be returned to the OAC, for the Consumer to select from.

   (2) If the accepted ProtocolBrandId is XXX:YYY:ZZZ

The SET Related Module searches for ProtocolBrandIDs with the string "XXX:YYY:ZZZ", only the corresponding PaymentInstrumentIds of the ProtocolBrandIds that match the Dual Brand or Promotional Brand will be returned to OAC, for the Consumer to select from.

Example:

Assume ProtocolBrandIds are correspond to PaymentInstrumentIds in the SET Bridge as follows,

      ProtocolBrandId        PaymentInstrumentId
      ------------------------------------------
      MasterCard             1
      MasterCard::UC         2
      MasterCard::WallMart   3
      VISA::UC               4

If the SET Bridge receives a ProtocolBrandId as "MasterCard" in the FindPaymentInstrument Function, the SET Bridge will return "1","2", and "3". However, if the SET Bridge receives a ProtocolBrandId as "MasterCard::UC" to OAC, SET Bridge will returns only "2".

8.3.3 GetPaymentInitializationData Function

   (1) Create TradingRolePackagedContent

If necessary, The SET Related Module generates TradingRolePackagedContent corresponded to the received ReceiverOrgID. The ContentData of TradingRolePackagedContent is the information which the Payment Handler needs to process the SET Transaction (for example, the SET SaleDetail. and the SET OD). The ContentData, Content, and the Transform must be agreed upon between the Merchant and the Payment Handler beforehand.

The Name Attribute of the packaged contents must include "Payment:" as the prefix, for example "Payment:SET-OD". If there is no PackagedContent corresponding to ReceiverOrgID, such that the SET Related Module does not need to create the PackagedContent, the TradingRolePackagedContent is not created.

   Parameters in TradingRolePackagedContent
   ----------------------------------------
   Name        : O : This is not specified in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : Should be identical between the Payment
                     Handler and the Merchant.
   Transform   : M : Should be identical between the Payment
                     Handler and the Merchant.
   ContentData : M : Element Data for the Payment Handler to
                     process the SET Transaction.  Should be
                     identical between the Payment Handler and
                     the Merchant.

8.4 Process of Payment

8.4.1 StartPaymentConsumer Function

(1) Process of the 1st SET Initiation Message

Since there are similar items between the SET Initiation Message Fields and IOTP Elements, IOTP elements can be used for the corresponding SET Initiation Fields. Other SET Initiation Fields, except URL information (for detail, see below), is encapsulated in the PayProtocolPackagedContent.

This document does not specify how the SET Related Module implements the 1st SET Initiation Process.

The following table shows the list of SET Initiation Fields that corresponds to IOTP Elements.

   SET Initiation Field        IOTP Element (in TPO.Brandlist)
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
   SET-Version                 Consumer selected ProtocolId
   SET-Brand                   Consumer selected ProtocolBrandId

Figure 12 ProtocolId vs SET-Version

(c) SET-Brand:

SET-Brand can be corresponded to ProtocolBrandId.

(d) SET-PurchAmt:
It is necessary to adjust the format of the Amount between IOTP and SET, since IOTP and SET use different syntax.

Assumption:

  • In SET/IOTP, The "ISO4217-A" (the currency code which is represented by three alphabet, such as "USD") is mandatory.
  • Consumer Side SET Related Module should have a mapping table between "ISO4217-A" and "ISO4217-N" (the currency code which is represented by three digit, such as "840").
   (d) -1 Content of the SET-PurchAmt

The content of the SET-PurchAmt is as follows:

SET PurchAmt: currency amount amtExp10

For a description see [SET] Book 2, page 299. For example, $129.50 is represented by "840 12950 -2". In this case, the corresponding values for the "currency", "amount" and "amtExp10" are "840", "12950" and "-2" respectively.

(d) -2 Content of IOTP Amount Elements

The content of the three IOTP amount elements consist of the following: Amount, CurrCodeType and CurrCode. For a description of each, see [RFC 2801]. For example, $129.50 is represented by the following:

CurrCodeType="ISO4217-A"
CurrCode="USD"

      Amount="129.50"
      
      (d) -3 Example of how-to-translate

The one-to-one mapping between the IOTP format and the SET format is very simple. This example of sequence below uses the example of IOTP amount Element above.

  1. Translate from IOTP CurrCode (ISO4217-A) to SET currency (ISO- 4217-N). For example, if CurrCode="USD", then the value of currency is "840".
  1. Calculate how many decimal places are represented in the Amount. For example, if Amount="129.50", there are "2" decimal places.
   3) [The number of decimal places] *( -1) corresponds to the SET
      amtExp10.  In the above case, SET amtExp10 = 2 * (-1) = -2.
  1. 10^[The number of the Amount's decimal places] * Amount corresponds to the SET amount. In the above example, SET amount = 10^2 * 129.50 = 12950.
  1. Concatenate three integers and use white spaces as a delimiter.

Finally, in the above case, the SET PurchAmt is represented as "840 12950 -2".

(e) SET OD (Order Description) vs. IOTP Order Information

In the IOTP, the OAC handles the Order Information, such as display use, as SET uses the Order Information. Payment Handler does not know the actual Order Information because the Merchant and Payment Handler may exist in the separate domains. However, Payment Handler needs to get the SET OD from Merchant via the Consumer or directly because Payment Handler needs the SET OD to create 2nd SET Initiation message and after. In this situation, the Merchant should not pass the actual order information to the Payment Handler because the order information may be considered private data. Therefore, SET/IOTP defines SET OD as the hash of IOTP Order Information. The hash algorithm must be SHA1.

But the Order Component may be included two or more Packaged Content (see [RFC 2801]). Therefore SET/IOTP specifies to create hash as follows:

(e) -1. If the Name attribute does not have the Name attribute, such that the Order Component have only one Packaged Content, hash the Contents Data using SHA1 simply and be encoded by BASE64.

(e) -2. Otherwise, such that there exists the Name attribute, sort the Packaged Contents in the UTF-16 character code order of Name attribute and hash the Content Data using SHA1 and concatenate them in proper sequence, then hash it using SHA1 again and be encoded by BASE64.

NOTE:
To avoid different character encodings between applications, in this document, SET OD MUST be constructed from the ContentData in OrderPackagedContent as follows:

(1) Convert it to network byte ordered Unicode encoding data. (2) Hash (1) using SHA1
(3) Convert (2) to BASE64 US-ASCII data

Therefore, "Content-Type","charset" MUST be "text/plain","us-ascii" respectively when SET Initiation message is constructed.

   (f) SET-***-URL vs. IOTP Net Location

In IOTP, the OAC handles location data therefore the OAC does not need to pass net location data on to the OPB. However, some vender implemented consumer SET/IOTP wallets may need the URL information to process the SET Initiation. Thus, if necessary, the Consumer's SET Related Module must set appropriate URL data to SET-***-URL.

(2) Create the next SET related message

Generate SET related message (SET PInitReq or SET Initiation Response) at the SET Related Module, to be sent to the Payment Handler.

(3) Error check of the next SET related message.

If SET related message which is created in (2) is SET Initiation Response and includes any error in it, SET Related Module creates an ErrorResponse message with ErrorCode to "EncapProtErr" and the Severity to "HardError" and sent it to the OAC.

   (4) Create PaySchemePackagedContent

The followings are the parameter of PaySchemePackagedContent in StartPaymentConsumerResponse.

   ContentData : M : SET Related Message which is encoded by
                     BASE64. (e.g., SET PinitRes message or
                     SET Initiation Response Message)
   Name        : O : This is not used in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : This field should be set to "PCDATA".
   Transform   : M : This must be set "BASE64".

(5) Store of the Payment Information

SET Bridge should store the following in the DataBase:

o ConsumerPayId
o PaySchemePackagedContent
o ContStatus
o ContentSoftwareId (corresponding to the PaySchemePackagedContent) o ProcessState

8.4.2 StartPaymentPaymentHandler Function

(1) Process for TradingRoleData

SET Bridge must processes appropriately, for example pass it to the SET Core, if there exists the TradingRolePackagedContent as the input Parameter.

(2) SET Specific Process

The SET Related Module processes the SET Initiation Response or the SET Transaction (SET PInitReq). In addition, the SET Related Module generates a message (the next SET Initiation Message or SET PInitRes) corresponding to the results of the processed message. This message will be sent to the Consumer.

(3) Error check of the next SET related message.

If SET related message which is created in (2) includes any error, SET Related Module create an ErrorResponse message with ErrorCode to "EncapProtErr" and the Severity to "HardError" and sent it to the OAC.

   (4) Generate PaySchemePackagedContent

PaySchemePackagedContent which Encapsulate the SET Initiation Message or SET PInitRes into ContentData and generate the PaySchemePackagedContent. The Parameters of PaySchemePackagedContent as Output is as follows:

   ContentData : M : SET Related Message which is encoded by
                     BASE64 (e.g., SET PinitRes message or
                     SET Initiation Response Message).
   Name        : O : This is not used in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : This field should be set to "PCDATA".
   Transform   : M : This must be set "BASE64"

8.4.3 ContinueProcess Function (Consumer Side)

(1) SET Specific Process

The Parameters of PaySchemePackagedContent as Input is as follows:

   ContentData : M : SET Related Message which is encoded by
                     BASE64 (e.g., SET PinitRes message,
                     SET PRes message or SET Initiation
                     Response Message).
   Name        : O : This is not used in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : This field should be set to "PCDATA".
   Transform   : M : This must be set "BASE64"

SET Related Module processes the SET Related Message in the PaySchemePackagedContent, then SET Related Message corresponding to the processed message is created if necessary.

(2) SET Related Message Error Check

If SET related message which is created in (2) includes any error, SET Related Module create an ErrorResponse message with ErrorCode to "EncapProtErr" and the Severity to "HardError" and sent it to the OAC.

   (3) Create PaySchemePackagedContent

The followings are the parameter of PaySchemePackagedContent in ContinueProcessResponse.

ContentData : M :

SET Related Message which is encoded by BASE64 (e.g., SET PinitReq message,
SET PReq message or SET Initiation Response Message).

   Name        : O : This is not used in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : This field should be set to "PCDATA".
   Transform   : M : This must be set "BASE64".

If the ContentData which has received from Payment Handler is SET PRes message, this data is not created.

8.4.4 ContinueProcess Function (Payment Handler Side)

(1) Brand Integrity Check between IOTP Elements and SET Elements

Since the Consumer sets the Amount and Brand in the SET Message, based on the IOTP message, it might be altered when the IOTP message is copied to the SET message. Thus, the Payment Handler needs to check the Elements in IOTP components (Payment, etc.) and the Elements in the SET message to make sure they are consistent. The IOTP Brand specified by the Merchant should correspond to the Brand used in the SET payment.

The Brand Integrity check sequence is as follows:

(a) After receiving the SET PReq message, check the Consumer selected Brand information (e.g., ProtocolBrandId) in the IOTP Payment Request against information in the SET certificate in the SET PReq message.

(b) If they do not match, return a SET Bridge Level Error (Severity="HardError", ErrorCode="AttNotValid" and Names="BrandId").

Additionally, the SET PReq message signature must be verified with the SET CardHolder's certificate. (This is done during a normal SET Transaction.)

NOTE: This integrity check is necessary evenif There is no Promotional Card Name in the ProtocolBrandId because SET may have selected the MasterCard even though IOTP has selected the VISA.

(2) SET Related Process

Encapsulate the SET related Message (SET Initiation Message or SET Transaction Message) in to Content Data of PaySchemePackagedContent and send it to the Sender.

The followings are the parameters of PaySchemePackagedContent as output.

   ContentData : M : SET Related Message which is encoded by
                     BASE64 (e.g., SET PinitReq message,
                     SET PReq message or SET Initiation
                     Response Message).
   Name        : O : This is not used in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : This field should be set to "PCDATA".
   Transform   : M : This must be set "BASE64".

(3) SET Related Message Error Check

If SET related message which is created in (2) includes any error, SET Related Module create an ErrorResponse message with ErrorCode to "EncapProtErr" and the Severity to "HardError" and sent it to the OAC.

If SET related message which is created in (2) is SET PRes message, and its message includes except:

(a) CompletionCode in SET PRes message is "authorizationPerformed" and AuthCode is "Approved" or (b) CompletionCode in SET PRes message is "capurePerformed" and CapCode "Success",

SET Related Module create ErrorResponse message with ErrorCode to "BusinessError"and the Severity to "HardError" and sent it to the OAC.

   (4) Create PaySchemePackagedContent

The followings are the parameter of PaySchemePackagedContent in ContinueProcessResponse.

   ContentData : M : SET Related Message which is encoded by
                     BASE64 (e.g., SET PinitRes message,
                     SET PRes message or next SET Initiation
                     Message).
   Name        : O : "PRes" only if ContentData includes
                     SET PRes message, otherwise this is
                     not used in the current SET/IOTP.
   Content     : M : This field should be set to "PCDATA".
   Transform   : M : This must be set "BASE64".

If ContentData includes the SET PRes message, ContStatus MUST be "End".

   ContentData : M : SET PRes message which is encoded by BASE64.

(2) Get the current status information

SET Related Module gets out the following element from Data Base using ConsumerPayId, PaymentHandlerPayId as keys.

o BrandId
o ProtocolBrandId
o PayInstrumentId
o Amount
o CurrCodeType
o CurrCode
o PayDirection

(3) Get the SET Data

SET Related Module gets the following data from SET PRes message which take as the Request Message.

(a) Date Field in the MessageWrapper Date field between SET and IOTP is slightly different. The different things are as follows:

  • There is no TimeZone in the Date field of SET.
  • Second and Milli-second can be omitted in the Date field of SET

Therefore, SET Related Module needs to compensate the Date information when TimeStamp field is set.

(b) AuthRatio in SET PRes message. (CapRatio is high priority than AuthRatio if available.)

(c) LID_M in SET PRes message. (The style of this value is the same as it of SET Initiation message.)

8.10 Relationship between Pay Step and Deliv Step on SET/IOTP

SET/IOTP recommends the following regarding Delivery:

   Physical Goods
   --------------
   For physical goods, the IOTP Delivery Exchanges should be omitted.
   That is, set DelivExch=False and DelivAndPayResp=False in the
   Delivery Component.  This is to avoid the situation where the IOTP
   Delivery Handler must check with the IOTP Payment Handler on the
   status of a credit authorization.  When a Delivery Inquiry
   transaction might occur, the DelivReqNetLocn attribute in the
   DeliveryData Element must have been specified at the time of the
   original Offer Response Message.  If you want to use the Delivery
   Exchange, you need to process the inquiry of the credit authorization
   out of IOTP between IOTP Payment Handler and Delivery Handler.
   
   Digital Goods
   -------------
   For digital goods sold through SET/IOTP, authorization should be
   processed on a real-time basis.

8.11 Completion Code

In SET/IOTP, the CompletionCode, which is a Business Error Code, is set as follows:

   Value                    Description
   ------------------------------------------------------
   BrandNotSupp             This value is not used.
   CurrNotSupp              This value is not used.
   AuthError                The IOTP Authentication has
                            failed for any reason.
   InsuffFunds              This value is not used.
   InstBrandInvalid         This value is not used.
   PaymentDecl              A SET business failure has occurred.
   InstNotValid             This value is not used.
   BadInstrument            This value is not used.
   Unspecified              Unspecified error.  There is some known
                            problem or error, which does not fall
                            into one of the other CompletionCodes.

8.12 PercentComplete

This document recommends to set the PercentComplete as follows:

   SET Related    Setting for     Setting for        Value of
       Message       Consumer     Paymnet Handler    PercentComplete
   ------------+---------------+------------------+-----------------
   SET Initia- |After 1st SET  |After 1st SET     |20
   tion        |Initiation     |Initiation        |
               |Response has   |Response has      |
               |Cteated        |Processed         |
               |(See Note)     |(See Note)        |
   ------------+---------------+------------------+----------------
   SET PinitReq|After Created  |After Processed   |40
   ------------+---------------+------------------+----------------
   SET PinitRes|After Processed|After Created     |60
   ------------+---------------+------------------+----------------
   SET PReq    |After Created  |After Processed   |80
   ------------+---------------+------------------+----------------
   SET PRes    |After Processed|After Created     |100
   ------------+---------------+------------------+----------------

Note: According to the SET Initiation, PercentComplete should be set "20" at the timing of 1st SET Initiation Response is created/processed because number of its message is variable.

8.13 Severity

In the current version of SET/IOTP, if a technical error occurs in the SET Bridge, the Severity has to be always set to "HardError".

9. Error Handling

This chapter describes types of handling Errors.

9.1 Types of Errors

SET/IOTP defines the following error types:

(1) IOTP Level Error

This is defined as an error which is NOT specified in [SET EIG] nor [SET]. IOTP Level Errors are divided into two types according to the following:

   OAC Level Error:   Error in the OAC.  This error is defined in the
   [IOTP].
   
   SET Related Module Level Error:   Error generated in by process on
   the SET Related Module, not specified in [SET EIG] nor [SET].  For
   example, when checking the consistency between SET and IOTP elements
   on SET Related Module, an error might be returned to OAC.

(2) SET Level Error

This is defined as an error which is specified in [SET EIG] or [SET]. SET Level Errors have been divided into two types of error according to following:

SET Technical Level Error: Error in the SET Related Module. This error is defined in [SET] or [SET EIG]. SET Technical Level Errors are further subdivided into two types of errors:

(a) SET Initiation Error Error while the SET Initiation Process is in progress.

(b) SET Transaction Error Error when the SET Transaction (SET PInitReq message, SET PReq message, etc.) is in progress.

SET Business Level Error: Error when a business error (e.g., an authorization failure) occurs while the SET Transaction is being processed. In SET, Business Level Errors will be returned in the SET PRes message. SET does not use a SET Error Message for this type of error. However, it is necessary to present the OAC with what kind of SET Business Error has occurred.

In this below, the details of each errors above are described.

9.2 IOTP Level Error (OAC Error)

When OAC Level Errors have occurred, if necessary, the sender and receiver must issue ChangeProcessState API and change the status. For the detail of these errors, see [IOTP].

9.3 IOTP Level Error (SET Bridge Error)

This is the error generated in a process on the SET Related Module, not specified in [SET EIG] nor [SET]. For example, when checking the inconsistency between SET and IOTP elements on SET Related Module, it might cause an error. This error should be notified to OAC.

In this case, as a response message, Payment Scheme Data is not returned. An appropriate information must be set to Status Response.

9.4 SET Level Error (SET Technical Error)

9.4.1 SET Initiation Error

There are two SET Initiation errors as follows:

  • Error generated in SET Initiation Message
  • Error generated in SET Initiation Response Message.

(1) SET Initiation Message Error

[SET EIG] describes the error handling when a problem rises in SET Initiation Message. So the Consumer will do the same error handling in 9.4.2.

When SET Initiation Error rises in 1st Initiation Message, an error message will be returned to the Merchant. If an error occurs after 2nd Initiation Message, an error message will be returned to the Payment Handler. SET Initiation Response will be generated having SET-Error-Field in Response Message Header and will be returned ErrorCode as "PayEncapError" and Severity as "HardError".

(a) SET Initiation Response Error

In SET EIG, there is no description about the handling on the problems in SET Initiation Response. However, it is necessary to define some handling for the problems in SET/IOTP

(b) Process of Payment Handler

When a problem rises in SET Initiation Response, SET Related Module generates ErrorResponse, which is included the "EnCapProtoErr" as ErrorCode and the "HardError" as Severity. But PaySchemePackagedContent is not included in this API.

(2) Process of Consumer

ChangeProcessState API must be issued, and ProcessState must be modified.

9.4.2 SET Transaction Error

(1) Process of Sender

When a SET Transaction Error rises, SET Core creates SET Error Message. Then the SET Related Module creates ErrorResponse Message which includes "HardError" as Severity, "EnCapProtoErr" as ErrorCode and PaySchemePackagedContent. The SET Bridge passes the ErrorResponse Message to OAC. OAC will generate an Error Block which includes PaySchemePackagedContent and sends it to the Receiver side.

(2) Process of Receiver

With ContinueProcess API, receiver's OAC sends the message including the PaySchemeData to SET Bridge. SET Bridge passes the SET Error Message to SET Core for this process. After that, SET Bridge sends "End" status with ContinueProcessResponse API.

9.5 SET Level Error (SET Business Error)

(1) Process of Payment Handler

SET Related Module checks the SET Business Error in StatusCode in SET PRes message. When SET Transaction Error occurs, SET Related Module creates ErrorResponse Message which is included SET PRes as PaySchemePackagedContent and ErrorCode as "BusinessError" and returns it to OAC. OAC creates Payment Response Block after gets the SET scheme specific receipt in InquireProcessState/Response, and sends it to the Consumer.

(2) Process of Consumer

SET Related Module conducts the same process as in the process that Consumer receives Payment Response Block.

10. Security Considerations

In the IOTP, Merchant and Payment Handler may exist in different domains. So, if the Merchant passes the payment related information to the Payment Handler via the Consumer, the payment security level may depend on the IOTP. If you want to avoid this, you will need to check integrity of these data by using out-of-band communication between the Merchant and the Payment Handler. In this case, the security level depends on the communication path between them.
