EMV TLV Java Function

Question

I'm looking for a way to translate an EMV response with Java like with this online option:

http://www.emvlab.org/tlvutils/

where you put something like this EMV response:

6f3a8407a0000000031010a52f500b56495341204352454449548701015f2d086573656e707466729f12074352454449544f9f1101019f38039f1a02

and it will show you everything perfectly, I started doing something by myself but then I realize that maybe we could have two 9F38(PDOL) Strings not neccesary two same tags cuz I know it's impossible but maybe the value of a tag end in 9F and the start of the next tag would be 38 and that would give me an error... Now that I mention it, is that possible? cuz that was one of the main reasons why I stopped doing my own function..

Does any of you have written a function to do this already?

Thanks!

https://github.com/binaryfoo/emv-bertlv should do the trick.

Using your example, the following code:

List<DecodedData> decoded = new RootDecoder().decode("6f3a8407a0000000031010a52f500b56495341204352454449548701015f2d086573656e707466729f12074352454449544f9f1101019f38039f1a02", "EMV", "constructed");
new DecodedWriter(System.out).write(decoded, "");

Will output:

[6F (FCI template)] 8407A0000000031010A52F500B56495341204352454449548701015F...1A02
[84 (dedicated file name)] A0000000031010
[A5 (FCI proprietary template)] 500B56495341204352454449548701015F2D086573656E707466729F...1A02
  [50 (application label)] VISA CREDIT
  [87 (application priority indicator)] 01
  [5F2D (language preference)] esenptfr
  [9F12 (application preferred name)] CREDITO
  [9F11 (issuer code table index)] 01
  [9F38 (PDOL - Processing data object list)] 9F1A02
    9F1A (terminal country code) 2 bytes

This project has code to deal with EMV data http://code.google.com/p/javaemvreader/

You are on the right track. You can easily build your own EMV parser using the technique call TLV (Tag Length Value). Your raw data always comes back with a Tag, then after the tag is the length, using the length can get you the value.

So create three methods

method 1: Contains all the short tags method 2: Contains all the long tags method 3: Contains all the proprietary tags

So when you pass in your raw emv tag:

6f3a8407a0000000031010a52f500b56495341204352454449548701015f2d086573656e707466729f12074352454449544f9f1101019f38039f1a02

Loop through all those three methods, it will give you all the nice information that you need.

Use below function which will gives you hashmap of TLV value

public LinkedHashMap parseBERTLVTag(String tlv) throws DecoderException
{
    if(tlv==null || "".equalsIgnoreCase(tlv)){
        return null;
    }

    System.out.println("============= START ["+tlv+"]==================");


    boolean inTagRead= true;
    Map<String,String> tags= new HashMap<>();

    StringBuilder _tmp = new StringBuilder();
    String lastTag = "";
    int old_index = 0;
    boolean isFirstTagByte = true;
    int len = 0;
    boolean more=true;
    String data = "";
    while (more)
    {
        len = 0;
        String hByte = tlv.substring(old_index,(old_index = old_index+2));
        if(inTagRead)
        {
            if(isLastTagByte(hByte, isFirstTagByte))
            {
                inTagRead=false;
                _tmp.append(hByte);
                lastTag =  _tmp.toString();
                System.out.println("Tag["+lastTag+"]");
                tags.put(lastTag, null);
                _tmp= new StringBuilder();
            }else
            {
                _tmp.append(hByte);
            }

            isFirstTagByte = false;

        }else//Length
        {

            isFirstTagByte = true;


            if(isLastLengthByte(hByte)) {
                inTagRead=true;
                _tmp.append(hByte);
                len =  Integer.parseInt(_tmp.toString(), 16 );
                //read len*2
                System.out.println(" Length ["+len+"]");
                data =  tlv.substring(old_index, (old_index = old_index+len*2));
                String tmpData= lastTag+":"+_tmp.toString()+":h"+data;
                System.out.println(" Data ["+tmpData+"]");
                _tmp = new StringBuilder();

                tags.put(lastTag, tmpData);

            }else
            {
                _tmp.append(hByte);
            }

        }

        more= tlv.length()<=old_index?false:true;

        System.out.println("tag "+lastTag+" value "+data+"  length "+len);

        if(lastTag.length() > 0 && data.length() > 0 && len > 0){

            if(!map.containsKey(lastTag)){

                map.put(lastTag,new TLVModel().setTag(lastTag).setLength(len).setValue(data));
            }
        }

    }//END OF WHILE


    System.out.println("------------  as MAP  ---------------------");
    System.out.println("size "+map.size());

    for (Map.Entry mp:map.entrySet()){
        System.out.println("key  "+mp.getKey()+"  value "+mp.getValue());
    }

    return map.size() > 0 ? map : null;
}
