Where can I find CVK (Card Verification Key) on EMV card?

2.2k Views Asked by At

I need to calculate the CVV code after reading an EMV card like Visa, Maestro and Mastercard with a smart card reader. All websites that allow you to calculate CVV require CVKa and CVKb, but I can't find them on smart card. I also need the 3DES keys. Does the data need to be read via PIN authentication or is it contained in the certificate? I searched online for complete file system information but nobody talks about CVK and 3DES keys. Anyone know how to extract them?

You cannot get any 3DES key from the card. Only the issuer of that card will hold it. And you don't need those unless you are a fraudster. If you are trying to implement something based on cards from ground up, then your perception is completely wrong, you need to read more.
