Tests cases and Card profiles reworked

Known by the environment Tests Plans and Cards are reworked. Some details added under associated Card Brands.
The same style of items filtering by labels also applicable for the Test Cases and Test Cards.

Online tools processing logs and stats

Processing log, stats and data checking rate added to online tools (data parsers and host simulators).
"Warnings" and "Notifications" messages available for authorised users and will be listed in the log section.

For sample, for online host simulators:
- detect test card profile,
- match test case,
- detect payment scheme's related method and cryptography algorithms,
- validate ARQC and calculate ARPC cryptograms,
- process Host-side test cases' validations.

Also data quality rate calculated for processed data.
For the moment only fields with lookup tables used in the quality rate.
Known lookup values rated as passed point. Unknown values as failed point.
Later will be added expected data format checking and message content (Optional, Mandatory fields, etc). Anything else? Let me know.

Votes to develop or upgrade online tools

Votes to develop or upgrade online tools now embedded into iso8583.info services library.
Every day authorised users can vote for one tool from to-do list.
The development order will be according to Top 20 most voted tools.

Authorization Host Simulators available for execution thru user's workspace.

Finally Authorization Test Hosts can be managed directly at iso8583.info site user's workspace.
For authorized users at workspace, with few clicks, possible to setup, start or stop personal authorization host service.
It is designed as simple as possible. Just select desired host simulator, start it and use service link.

All available host simulators can be executed thru specific gateways - streams.
HTTPS_MSG stream, also introduced today, available for free. It is HTTP messages exchange protocol thru POST or GET methods.
Host Simulators thru TCP/IP socket streams available for Valued Customers.

Valid transaction messages logged and stored in memory for 24 hours. Request/Reply messages processed thru your host service can be parsed as deep as possible.
Transactions can be filtered using few parameters like message MTI, Date/Time, STAN, RRN, card PAN, amount, currency, etc.

Request additional clarifications, support or send your proposals to support@iso8583.info.

HTTPS_MSG stream for authorisation hosts

For Online Authorisation hosts added new stream - HTTPS_MSG.
It is data stream for Test Host System which allows to send financial protocol data packets (or clear messages, depending of host simulator protocol) thru HTTP-standard POST or GET methods.
Send ASCII protocol message as-is. Binary protocol messages should be sent as Hexadecimal string representation without delimeters.
Check protocol packets (or messages) format at the protocol parsing pages.

In case sending messages thru GET method, when protocol packets (or messages) sends in URL - ensure that all spaces are URL-encoded, i.e. replaced with '+' sign.
If you host packet (or message) is correct you will get from authorisation host reply packet (or message) as text/plain data.

Site authorisation

iso8583.info users authorisation is now mandatory to get access to online services.
We'd like to see the persons who used our services.
As authorised user you have no limitation for data parsing.
For the moment you may login with your LinkedIn(tm) profile or with your e-mail.

[DONE] UnionPay CUPS Online messages upgrade and host simulator

China UnionPay (UnionPay International) CUPS Online host simulation added into iso8583.info environment.

It is UnionPay customized financial protocol messages implementation based on ISO8583-1987.
The fields required for authorisation host simulation were defined as well as most of sub-fields. The message specification updated to the latest available.
Authorisation, Sale, Reversals and few Network messages already supported.

Online PIN processing require to implement Key exchange procedure. Without it Online PIN transaction can be approved basing on known cards without PIN validation.

The deeper definition for this specific elements and TCP/IP port with CUPS host simulator can be requested dirrectly to support@iso8583.info.

[DONE] DCI Xpress Authorization System messages and host simulator

Diners Club Xpress authorisation system messages parser and host simulation added into iso8583.info environment.

It is customized financial protocol messages implementation based on ISO8583-1993. This messages looks like evolution of DCI Service Certer (DCI SC) protocol.
The fields required for authorisation host simulation were defined as well as practically all sub-fields.
The deeper definition for this specific elements and TCP/IP port with DCI Xpress host simulator can be requested dirrectly to support@iso8583.info.

[DONE] JCB Online Interface (J/Link) host simulator

Japan Credit Bureau (JCB) J/Link online host simulator added into iso8583.info test environment.

It is JCB customized financial host protocol based on ISO8583-1987.
The simple host simulation was defined. For the moment Authorisation (MTI 0100/0110) and Reversal (MTI 0420/0430) messages replies can be simulated. It is enought to process known JCB TCI test cards.
JCB J/Link protocol message parser was updated for deep details for sub-elements in DE048 and DE060.
TCP/IP port for online communication testing can be requested dirrectly at support@iso8583.info.

[NEW] Test Cards profiles collection - JCB TCI cards

Into Test Cards collection added JCB card profiles.
Test card profiles based on JCB Terminal Check for Implementations (TCI) tests and J/Smart specifications.

Cryptographic methods for ARQC and ARPC calculation succesfully resolved.
All mentioned JCB test cards can be correctly authorised now in online host simulators.
