Optimisation


Subject: Implemented Security Enhancement: Encryption of Admin Website and Back Office Data
Product/Platform: Gateway-Admin
Release Description:
This update ensures that data associated with parameters accessible in both the Admin Website and Back Office backend is encrypted. To access this data on the frontend, users are required to utilise a decryption key (encryption seed) for specific parameters. This encryption process is mandatory for any Gateway process or function utilizing encrypted parameter data


Subject: Synced Deletion and Enhanced Encryption: Ensuring Data Consistency Across Gateways
Product/Platform: Gateway-Admin
Release Description:
To maintain consistency, when a record is deleted in one Gateway, the same action will automatically occur in the partnered Gateway. This modification guarantees that encrypted parameters necessitate the key to be in a hash format, distinguishing between encrypted and non-encrypted values.

Subject: Enhanced iVeri Token Management - Leveraging PANToken Enquiry Instruction
Product/Platform: Gateway-Core
Release Description:
If a merchant has previously tokenized a card using the iVeri Gateway, they can now refresh the token by utilizing the PANToken enquiry instruction. This involves providing the TransactionIndex and the dotted card number.

Subject: Symmetric Parameter Encryption - Enhancing Database Security
Product/Platform: Gateway-Core
Release Description:
Symmetric encryption has been implemented for parameters utilized in Backoffice functions and the Administration site. This enhancement aims to bolster the security of parameters stored within the databases.

Subject: Optimizing Refund Support with VTS/MDES Data in the Token Vault
Product/Platform: Gateway-Core
Release Description:
If transaction history is inaccessible for a VTS/MDES refund, merchants can still utilize iVeri's TransactionIndex via the Enterprise API to initiate the refund. The Gateway will then use the TransactionIndex to fetch encrypted token details from the TokenVault and process the refund. However, merchants must be enabled for Initial Credits to facilitate this process.

Subject: Enhancing Transaction Look-Up Functionality in Backoffice and Admin Website
Product/Platform: Gateway-Core
Release Description:
We have made updates to the function utilized for transaction lookups to address instances where the transaction description was used instead of the result status code.

Subject: Automatic Deletion of Dormant Merchant Profiles on iVeri Managed Partner Gateways
Product/Platform: Gateway-Core
Release Description:
Extend the automatic deletion function of merchant profiles to iVeri-managed partner gateways whenever a profile has been dormant for an extended period of time.
