Hashing Mechanism

Innovate uses Hashing Mechanism for the encryption using following methods :-

SHA1

MD5

Steps to generate hash-

Secret key is required to generate hash. Secret key will be provided by InnovateMR account manager.

Innovate will use complete URL without hash value in it. Example Hashed URL = https://www.xyz.com/web-service/innovate?pubid=ct4JGltDsCS&tran_id=28969 &offer_id=3&cpi=1.8&hash=

Code which will be used to generate hash :

A. SHA1 encryption method : var hashVal = crypto.createHmac(‘sha1’, secret_key).update(restUrl).digest(“hex”); where restUrl = Hashed URL

B. MD5 encryption method : var hashVal = crypto.createHmac(‘MD5’, secret_key).update(restUrl).digest(“hex”); where restUrl = Hashed URL

Generated Hash = “8c593bbbfa0beae8604e4d88805c60dc59e24db1”. Add this hash value in the URL mentioned in step 2.

Final URL which will be redirected to client side = https://www.xyz.com/web-service/innovate?pubid=ct4JGltDsCS&tran_id=28969&offer_id=3&cpi=1.8 &hash=8c593bbbfa0beae8604e4d88805c60dc59e24db1
