Message-Level Encryption

IMPORTANT
Payment and Unified Checkout events require message-level encryption. To see the event types and product IDs for Payment and Unified Checkout events, see Supported Products and Event Types.
Message-level encryption (MLE) encrypts the payload of a message to prevent tampering. This section explains how to create the key that is necessary to decrypt encrypted payloads.
The webhook notification service requires X.509 certificates instead of raw public keys for MLE. The service uses:
  • Symmetric Encryption
    : AES-GCM with 256-bit keys
  • Asymmetric Encryption
    : RSA-OAEP with 2048-bit keys
  • Format
    : JSON Web Encryption
  • Separate key pairs for request and response transactions

Prerequisite

  • OpenSSL must be installed on your system.
  • You must have access to terminal/command line.
  • You must have appropriate permissions to create the asymmetric key in the
