Requirements

You must generate and download a unique security key for each environment to which you will send transactions: Test or Production.

Simple Commerce Message Protocol (SCMP) security keys expire every two years. 

Generate SCMP Security Keys from the Business Center

  1. Sign into the Business Center for the appropriate environment (Test or Production) where the key will be used.
  2. Select Payment Configurations > Key Management > Generate Key.
  3. Select SCMP under Legacy Key types.
  4. Select Generate Key.
  5. Select Download key which will generate the certificate file (.crt)
  6. specify the location to save the file to.
All SCMP security keys use the filename format:  <organization_id>.<extension>
 
As an example, if your Organization ID is "bills_bagels", the files you will generate and/or download will be the following:
 
     bills_bagels.pvt                  (client-side private key)
     bills_bagels.crt                   (client-side public key)
     CyberSource_SJC_US.crt     (server-side public key)
 
Please note the location into which you save these files. If you are unable to find them, you will have to generate a new set.

 

Note: As a secure best practice, remember to delete any copies of these encryption keys from your clipboard and/or system memory cache once you have completed these steps.
