CAP Token Computation

Compress assembled token data with an Issuer Proprietary Bitmap.

Use test data. No commands are sent to a card.

CAP token

Supply assembled token data and an equally sized IPB. Selected bits are read from most significant to least significant, then interpreted as a decimal integer. This does not generate a card cryptogram or authenticate a transaction.

What it calculates

Compress assembled token data with an Issuer Proprietary Bitmap.

Inputs and methods

Enter the HEX and decimal fields labelled on each tab. Profile-specific lengths are enforced.

Worked example

Worked CAP token example: Token data · HEX: AB; IPB · HEX: AA

Binary token data: 10101011
Binary IPB: 10101010
Compressed data: 1111
Token: 15

Specification and limits

This demonstrates the first tab only. Other stages need their own profile inputs; outputs do not prove issuer authorization.
