Can I please get an update on the status of this request?
Also, we have encountered another issue, with EMV key blocks. We have a vendor issuing and expecting E0 key blocks with a version ID of B and a mode of use of N. The IBM documentation specifies that mode of use N is only valid for version ID A, not B, C, or D. The vendor previously used version ID A, so the key blocks were accepted. But now they have switched to version ID B while maintaining a mode of use of N, so the key blocks are no longer accepted by ICSF. Would it be possible to include support for mode of use N for all version IDs for E0 key blocks?
Thanks.
We should be finished with our development for TR-31 key blocks by the end of February. If needed, I can enhance the code later to incorporate this support if it isn't ready in time. We just may not be able to complete certifications with certain networks until this enhancement is implemented. So the sooner we can take advantage of it, the better.
We have discussed your requirement and we can support this. We are working on the details with the involved teams. Can you share your schedule requirements to aid in our planning?
Checking in, since it has been a couple weeks since submitting this request. Have you had a chance to evaluate this to determine if it can be supported? If so, do you have an estimate on when the support might be able to be added?
