Talk to your Credit Card part 7: find and print out the “Application Primary Account Number” (“PAN”) = card number
In step 6 we anticipated the “find part” by visual examination of the prettyPrint response and here I’m explaining how to do this programmatically.
We are trying to find tag 0x54 (PAN) and 0x5f24 (Expiration Date) in the read response with our BER-TLV parser and if the tag is not null the tag was found and, after removing any trailing “F”s printed out (same for Expiration Date).
... code for generating the read command
readRecordResponse = nfc.transceive(cmd);
byte[] readRecordResponseTag5a = null;
byte[] readRecordResponseTag5f24 = null;
if (readRecordResponse != null) {
try {
BerTlvs tlvsReadRecord = parser.parse(readRecordResponse);
BerTlv tag5a = tlvsReadRecord.find(new BerTag(0x5a));
if (tag5a != null) {
readRecordResponseTag5a = tag5a.getBytesValue();
writeToUiAppend("found tag 0x5a in the readRecordResponse length: " + readRecordResponseTag5a.length + " data: " + bytesToHexNpe(readRecordResponseTag5a));
}
BerTlv tag5f24 = tlvsReadRecord.find(new BerTag(0x5f, 0x24));
if (tag5f24 != null) {
readRecordResponseTag5f24 = tag5f24.getBytesValue();
writeToUiAppend("found tag 0x5f24 in the readRecordResponse length: " + readRecordResponseTag5f24.length + " data: " + bytesToHexNpe(readRecordResponseTag5f24));
}
if (readRecordResponseTag5a != null) {
String readRecordPanString = removeTrailingF(bytesToHexNpe(readRecordResponseTag5a));
String readRecordExpirationDateString = bytesToHexNpe(readRecordResponseTag5f24);
writeToUiAppend("PAN: " + readRecordPanString);
String expirationDateString = "Expiration date (" + (readRecordExpirationDateString.length() == 4 ? "YYMM): " : "YYMMDD): ") + readRecordExpirationDateString;
}
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
System.out.println("Runtime Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
Of course you can search for Track 1 or Track 2 data as well but they are not available on every card I read so far.
Here is one record from my VisaCard used in previous steps:
readRecord command length: 5 data: 00b2031400
readRecord response length: 236 data: 7081e79f4701039f4681b04eeaeb38be423b4bc781eceb83755a26476bb43f98492fe49df28e1380b2b97579d0abc96099031baeb7e4620dcc1af54b67c4f876206d506fa641a3a06f4a8bf8b8f0c3aa9edc61562dd511a5efd4f7fd2fbe50020ef5bcda441d735be43cbcd08e9abbbae156c53811fe86f15201c1e84a8a7d70d9be856269b81110e230182eedf46a00a3223800cd76f0f9259d11a7d2d50ee20a5caa1b09cc77f76bc6c8b2eeb5e93c58962fa1b7a004c7b28cc25a0842635401222700509f690701af211c3b38005f24032506309f0702ffc05f280202769f4a01829f6e04207000009000

The same procedure as with the MasterCard is to find the tags 0x5a and 0x5f24 and printout the Credit Card number and the Expiration Date.
At this point I’m repeating my warning from the beginning:
Never ever send the data you got by this app from an active card over internet or email as the data may contain confidential data even if you can’t see them.
Here is a short example that simple “masking” of credit card numbers can be dangerous. The VisaCard responded this data when reading a file from the AFL list:

One of the tags returned is tag 0x9f46 (ICC Public Key Certificate). The data is encrypted but we can decrypt the tag value with public available keys to this data (code not included in this app):
decryption of ICC Public Key success
Recovered Data Header Byte: 6a
Certificate Format: 4
Application Pan: 4263540122270050ffff
Certificate Expiration Date: 0625
Certificate Serial Number: 26e44b
...
Ups, the full credit card number and expiration date is shown in the decrypted key dump (compare it visually with the content of tags 0x5a and 0x5f24.
Now our journey ends as we get a last printout:
07 get PAN and Expiration date from tags 0x5a and 0x5f24
data for AID a0000000041010
PAN: 5375050000160110
Expiration date (YYMMDD): 240331
There are a lot of improvements possible regarding the code but I tried to make the code as much readable as possible and tried to avoid any nesting of commands.
We saw so many data in tags to evaluate so now you do have a stable basis for your work. Have fun with your coding.
I’m providing a compiled debug-app (see the debug-release folder of the GitHub repository below) or try this direct link: app-debug.apk.
