generatePinData

Generates pin-related data such as PIN, PIN Verification Value (PVV), PIN Block, and PIN Offset during new card issuance or reissuance. For more information, see Generate PIN data in the Amazon Web Services Payment Cryptography User Guide.

PIN data is never transmitted in clear to or from Amazon Web Services Payment Cryptography. This operation generates PIN, PVV, or PIN Offset and then encrypts it using Pin Encryption Key (PEK) to create an EncryptedPinBlock for transmission from Amazon Web Services Payment Cryptography. This operation uses a separate Pin Verification Key (PVK) for VISA PVV generation.

For information about valid keys for this operation, see Understanding key attributes and Key types for specific data operations in the Amazon Web Services Payment Cryptography User Guide.

Cross-account use: This operation can't be used across different Amazon Web Services accounts.
