Meat Messaging - segment explanation for = DEQ_d_signature

The details shown here are the options for the JSON segment.

Below is the method for the security coding:

1. There must be a login method that identifies the name of the Authorised Company Official. One of the email addresses in the message must be the email address of this person (or company email address).

2. The Authorised Company Representative must have a Security Key. This key (password) must be 8 characters long, including both number and letters.

3. The Authorised Company Representative must enter their Key to create an eMTC, this will need to be password masked. If the key entered does not match the stored key for the Authorised Company Representative, a message box must be displayed stating the key is incorrect. Once the correct key is entered a unique digital signature is created using the following formula:

If the Key is a345tz11 then apply:

Letters in the Key are replaced by number where a to z = 1 to 26. The string is then converted to a number.

1345202611 (Number Key)

Multiply the Number key by the last 8 digits of the SSCC number

1345202611 x 56456789 = 75945819971476079

Take the last 8 digits of this number

71476079

This is the digital signature.

The digital signature is sent as part of the message and printed on the eMTCs printed certificates. The key is not sent nor shown anywhere, except in the admin user.

4. The digital signature and the name of the Authorised Company Official are sent as the Security Code and Key in the EMTC Despatch Advice message for the Shipper or Consigned From section.

5. The Authorised Company Official name and digital signature (Security Code) must be printed on the eMTC printed certificates.
