### First Steps

```javascript
// Basic ISO8583 Message Example (Node.js)

const {ISO8583} = require('iso8583');

// Create ISO8583 instance
const iso = new ISO8583();

// Define field definitions
iso.setFieldDefinitions({
  0: {type: 'n', length: 4, label: 'Message Type Indicator'},
  1: {type: 'n', length: 8, label: 'Bitmap'},
  2: {type: 'n', length: 19, label: 'Primary Account Number'},
  3: {type: 'n', length: 6, label: 'Processing Code'},
  4: {type: 'n', length: 12, label: 'Amount, Transaction'},
  7: {type: 'n', length: 10, label: 'Transmission Date & Time'},
  11: {type: 'n', length: 6, label: 'System Trace Audit Number'},
  12: {type: 'n', length: 6, label: 'Time, Local Transaction'},
  13: {type: 'n', length: 4, label: 'Date, Local Transaction'},
  39: {type: 'n', length: 2, label: 'Response Code'}
});

// Create authorization request message
const message = {
  0: '0200',  // Authorization request
  2: '4111111111111111',  // PAN
  3: '000000',  // Processing code
  4: '000000001000',  // Amount $10.00
  7: '0110123456',  // Date time
  11: '000001',  // STAN
  12: '123456',  // Time
  13: '0101',  // Date
  39: '00'  // Approved
};

// Pack the message
const packed = iso.pack(message);
console.log('Packed message:', packed.toString('hex'));

// Unpack received message
const unpacked = iso.unpack(packed);
console.log('Unpacked message:', unpacked);
```

## 🧠 Core Concepts

### Concept 1: Message Structure

**ISO8583 messages** terdiri dari header, MTI, bitmap, dan data fields dengan format yang spesifik.

```javascript
// ISO8583 Message Structure

// 1. Message Header (Variable length)
const messageHeader = {
  length: 4,  // Message length indicator
  header: 'ISO8583'  // Optional header
};

// 2. Message Type Indicator (MTI) - 4 digits
const messageTypes = {
  '0200': 'Authorization Request',
  '0210': 'Authorization Response',
  '0400': 'Reversal Request',
  '0410': 'Reversal Response',
  '0800': 'Network Management Request',
  '0810': 'Network Management Response'
};

// 3. Bitmap (8 bytes for primary, extended for secondary)
const bitmap = {
  primary: 8,  // 64 bits for fields 1-64
  secondary: 8,  // Additional 64 bits for fields 65-128
  tertiary: 8   // Additional 64 bits for fields 129-192
};

// 4. Data Fields (Variable format)
const dataFields = {
  fixed: 'Fixed length fields',
  variable: 'Variable length with LL/LLL prefix',
  composite: 'Subfields within fields'
};
```

**Key Points:**

* MTI menentukan jenis transaksi dan response
* Bitmap mengindikasikan fields yang present dalam message
* Data fields memiliki format yang berbeda-beda
* Secondary bitmap digunakan untuk fields > 64

### Concept 2: Field Types and Formats

**ISO8583 fields** memiliki tipe data dan format yang spesifik untuk setiap field.

```javascript
// Field Types and Formats

// 1. Numeric (n)
const numericFields = {
  type: 'n',
  example: '1234567890',
  padding: 'left zero',
  encoding: 'BCD'
};

// 2. Alphabetic (a)
const alphabeticFields = {
  type: 'a',
  example: 'ABCD',
  padding: 'right space',
  encoding: 'ASCII/EBCDIC'
};

// 3. Alphanumeric (an)
const alphanumericFields = {
  type: 'an',
  example: 'ABCD1234',
  padding: 'right space',
  encoding: 'ASCII/EBCDIC'
};

// 4. Binary (b)
const binaryFields = {
  type: 'b',
  example: Buffer.from([0x01, 0x02]),
  padding: 'none',
  encoding: 'raw binary'
};

// 5. Variable Length Fields
const variableFields = {
  type: 'var',
  lengthIndicator: 'LL',  // 2 digits
  example: 'ABCD',
  format: 'LL' + 'data'
};

// Field Examples with Common Formats
const commonFields = {
  2: {name: 'PAN', type: 'n', length: 19, variant: 'LLVAR'},
  3: {name: 'Processing Code', type: 'n', length: 6, variant: 'fixed'},
  4: {name: 'Amount', type: 'n', length: 12, variant: 'fixed'},
  7: {name: 'Date & Time', type: 'n', length: 10, variant: 'fixed'},
  11: {name: 'STAN', type: 'n', length: 6, variant: 'fixed'},
  22: {name: 'POS Entry Mode', type: 'n', length: 3, variant: 'fixed'},
  35: {name: 'Track 2 Data', type: 'ans', length: 37, variant: 'LLVAR'},
  39: {name: 'Response Code', type: 'n', length: 2, variant: 'fixed'},
  42: {name: 'Merchant ID', type: 'ans', length: 15, variant: 'fixed'},
  45: {name: 'Track 1 Data', type: 'ans', length: 76, variant: 'LLLVAR'},
  52: {name: 'PIN Block', type: 'b', length: 8, variant: 'fixed'},
  60: {name: 'Additional Data', type: 'ans', length: 999, variant: 'LLLVAR'},
  64: {name: 'MAC', type: 'b', length: 8, variant: 'fixed'}
};
```

### Concept 3: MTI Structure and Classifications

**Message Type Indicator (MTI)** adalah 4-digit code yang mengklasifikasikan jenis message.

```javascript
// MTI Structure: VVMM
// VV = Version (ISO8583:1987, 1993, 2003)
// MM = Message Class and Function

// Message Classes (2nd digit)
const messageClasses = {
  '0': 'Authorization Message',
  '1': 'Financial Messages',
  '2': 'File Actions',
  '3': 'Chargeback Messages',
  '4': 'Reversal Messages',
  '5': 'Reconciliation Messages',
  '6': 'Administrative Messages',
  '7': 'Fee Collection Messages',
  '8': 'Network Management Messages'
};

// Message Functions (3rd digit)
const messageFunctions = {
  '0': 'Request',
  '1': 'Request Response',
  '2': 'Advice',
  '3': 'Advice Response',
  '4': 'Notification',
  '5': 'Notification Acknowledgement',
  '6': 'Instruction',
  '7': 'Instruction Acknowledgement',
  '8': 'Command',
  '9': 'Command Response'
};

// Message Origin (4th digit)
const messageOrigins = {
  '0': 'Acquirer',
  '1': 'Acquirer Repeat',
  '2': 'Issuer',
  '3': 'Issuer Repeat',
  '4': 'Other',
  '5': 'Other Repeat'
};

// Common MTI Examples
const commonMTIs = {
  '0200': 'Authorization Request',
  '0210': 'Authorization Response',
  '0201': 'Authorization Repeat Request',
  '0211': 'Authorization Repeat Response',
  '0220': 'Authorization Advice Request',
  '0230': 'Authorization Advice Response',
  '0400': 'Reversal Request',
  '0410': 'Reversal Response',
  '0800': 'Network Management Request',
  '0810': 'Network Management Response',
  '1100': 'Balance Inquiry Request',
  '1110': 'Balance Inquiry Response',
  '1200': 'File Update Request',
  '1210': 'File Update Response',
  '1800': 'Network Management Request',
  '1810': 'Network Management Response'
};
```

## ⚡ Advanced Topics

### Advanced Topic 1: Bitmap Management

**Bitmap** adalah mechanism untuk mengindikasikan fields yang present dalam ISO8583 message.

```javascript
// Bitmap Implementation

class ISO8583Bitmap {
  constructor() {
    this.primaryBitmap = Buffer.alloc(8, 0);
    this.secondaryBitmap = Buffer.alloc(8, 0);
    this.tertiaryBitmap = Buffer.alloc(8, 0);
  }

  // Set field present in bitmap
  setField(fieldNumber) {
    if (fieldNumber >= 1 && fieldNumber <= 64) {
      this.setBit(this.primaryBitmap, fieldNumber - 1);
      if (fieldNumber === 1) {
        this.primaryBitmap[0] |= 0x80;  // Field 1 is always present
      }
    } else if (fieldNumber >= 65 && fieldNumber <= 128) {
      this.setBit(this.secondaryBitmap, fieldNumber - 65);
      this.setBit(this.primaryBitmap, 0);  // Set secondary bitmap indicator
    } else if (fieldNumber >= 129 && fieldNumber <= 192) {
      this.setBit(this.tertiaryBitmap, fieldNumber - 129);
      this.setBit(this.secondaryBitmap, 0);  // Set tertiary bitmap indicator
      this.setBit(this.primaryBitmap, 0);    // Set secondary bitmap indicator
    }
  }

  // Set specific bit in bitmap buffer
  setBit(buffer, position) {
    const byteIndex = Math.floor(position / 8);
    const bitIndex = 7 - (position % 8);
    buffer[byteIndex] |= (1 << bitIndex);
  }

  // Check if field is present
  isFieldPresent(fieldNumber) {
    if (fieldNumber >= 1 && fieldNumber <= 64) {
      return this.getBit(this.primaryBitmap, fieldNumber - 1);
    } else if (fieldNumber >= 65 && fieldNumber <= 128) {
      return this.getBit(this.secondaryBitmap, fieldNumber - 65);
    } else if (fieldNumber >= 129 && fieldNumber <= 192) {
      return this.getBit(this.tertiaryBitmap, fieldNumber - 129);
    }
    return false;
  }

  // Get specific bit from bitmap buffer
  getBit(buffer, position) {
    const byteIndex = Math.floor(position / 8);
    const bitIndex = 7 - (position % 8);
    return (buffer[byteIndex] & (1 << bitIndex)) !== 0;
  }

  // Get all present fields
  getPresentFields() {
    const fields = [];

    for (let i = 1; i <= 64; i++) {
      if (this.isFieldPresent(i)) {
        fields.push(i);
      }
    }

    for (let i = 65; i <= 128; i++) {
      if (this.isFieldPresent(i)) {
        fields.push(i);
      }
    }

    for (let i = 129; i <= 192; i++) {
      if (this.isFieldPresent(i)) {
        fields.push(i);
      }
    }

    return fields;
  }

  // Serialize bitmap to buffer
  toBuffer() {
    const buffers = [this.primaryBitmap];

    if (this.getBit(this.primaryBitmap, 0)) {
      buffers.push(this.secondaryBitmap);

      if (this.getBit(this.secondaryBitmap, 0)) {
        buffers.push(this.tertiaryBitmap);
      }
    }

    return Buffer.concat(buffers);
  }

  // Parse bitmap from buffer
  fromBuffer(buffer, offset = 0) {
    this.primaryBitmap = buffer.slice(offset, offset + 8);
    let currentOffset = offset + 8;

    if (this.getBit(this.primaryBitmap, 0)) {
      this.secondaryBitmap = buffer.slice(currentOffset, currentOffset + 8);
      currentOffset += 8;

      if (this.getBit(this.secondaryBitmap, 0)) {
        this.tertiaryBitmap = buffer.slice(currentOffset, currentOffset + 8);
        currentOffset += 8;
      }
    }

    return currentOffset;
  }
}
```

### Advanced Topic 2: Security and Encryption

**ISO8583 security** involves encryption, MAC calculation, and secure key management.

```javascript
// Security Implementation for ISO8583

const crypto = require('crypto');

class ISO8583Security {
  constructor() {
    this.encryptionKeys = {
      ZPK: null,  // Zone PIN Key
      ZAK: null,  // Zone Authentication Key
      ZEK: null,  // Zone Encryption Key
      TMK: null   // Terminal Master Key
    };
  }

  // Set encryption keys
  setKey(keyType, keyValue) {
    if (this.encryptionKeys.hasOwnProperty(keyType)) {
      this.encryptionKeys[keyType] = Buffer.from(keyValue, 'hex');
    } else {
      throw new Error(`Invalid key type: ${keyType}`);
    }
  }

  // DES encryption
  desEncrypt(key, data) {
    const cipher = crypto.createCipher('des-ecb', key);
    return Buffer.concat([cipher.update(data), cipher.final()]);
  }

  // Triple DES encryption
  tripleDESEncrypt(key, data) {
    const cipher = crypto.createCipher('des-ede3', key);
    return Buffer.concat([cipher.update(data), cipher.final()]);
  }

  // PIN Block Format 3 (ANSI X9.64)
  createPinBlock(pin, pan) {
    // Format PIN block: 0-3 = format code (0003), 4-13 = PIN digits, 14-15 = filler 'F'
    let pinBlock = '0003' + pin.padEnd(10, 'F');

    // Format PAN block: PAN (12 rightmost digits excluding check digit)
    const panDigits = pan.replace(/\D/g, '');
    const panBlock = '0000' + panDigits.slice(-12);

    // XOR PIN block with PAN block
    const pinBlockNum = BigInt('0x' + pinBlock);
    const panBlockNum = BigInt('0x' + panBlock);
    const result = (pinBlockNum ^ panBlockNum).toString(16).padStart(16, '0');

    return Buffer.from(result, 'hex');
  }

  // Validate PIN block
  validatePinBlock(pinBlock, pan, pin) {
    const expectedPinBlock = this.createPinBlock(pin, pan);
    return pinBlock.equals(expectedPinBlock);
  }

  // Calculate MAC (Message Authentication Code)
  calculateMAC(message, key) {
    // Use DES-CBC MAC algorithm
    const mac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', key);
    mac.update(message);
    return mac.digest().slice(0, 8);  // 8-byte MAC
  }

  // Verify MAC
  verifyMAC(message, key, receivedMAC) {
    const calculatedMAC = this.calculateMAC(message, key);
    return calculatedMAC.equals(receivedMAC);
  }

  // Encrypt sensitive field
  encryptField(fieldValue, key) {
    const paddedValue = this.padData(fieldValue, 8);
    return this.tripleDESEncrypt(key, paddedValue);
  }

  // Decrypt sensitive field
  decryptField(encryptedValue, key) {
    const decrypted = this.tripleDESEncrypt(key, encryptedValue);
    return this.unpadData(decrypted);
  }

  // Pad data to block size
  padData(data, blockSize) {
    const padding = blockSize - (data.length % blockSize);
    return Buffer.concat([data, Buffer.alloc(padding, 0)]);
  }

  // Remove padding
  unpadData(data) {
    let index = data.length - 1;
    while (index >= 0 && data[index] === 0) {
      index--;
    }
    return data.slice(0, index + 1);
  }

  // Generate random key
  generateRandomKey(size = 24) {
    return crypto.randomBytes(size);
  }

  // Derive working key from master key
  deriveWorkingKey(masterKey, keyType) {
    // Key derivation using key type identifier
    const keyTypeBytes = Buffer.from(keyType, 'ascii');
    const combined = Buffer.concat([masterKey, keyTypeBytes]);
    return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(combined).digest().slice(0, 24);
  }
}

// Usage Example
const security = new ISO8583Security();
security.setKey('ZPK', '0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF');  // 24-byte key

const pin = '1234';
const pan = '4111111111111111';
const pinBlock = security.createPinBlock(pin, pan);
console.log('PIN Block:', pinBlock.toString('hex'));
```

### Advanced Topic 3: Message Processing and Routing

**Message processing** involves parsing, validation, routing, and response handling.

```javascript
// ISO8583 Message Processor

class ISO8583Processor {
  constructor() {
    this.handlers = new Map();
    this.routingTable = new Map();
    this.logger = console;
  }

  // Register handler for specific MTI
  registerHandler(mti, handler) {
    if (!this.handlers.has(mti)) {
      this.handlers.set(mti, []);
    }
    this.handlers.get(mti).push(handler);
  }

  // Register routing rule
  registerRoutingRule(rule, destination) {
    this.routingTable.set(rule, destination);
  }

  // Process incoming message
  async processMessage(messageBuffer) {
    try {
      // Parse message
      const message = this.parseMessage(messageBuffer);

      const destination = this.routeMessage(message);

      // Handle message
      const response = await this.handleMessage(message, destination);

      this.logTransaction(message, response);

      return response;

    } catch (error) {

      return this.createErrorResponse(error);
    }
  }

      offset += field.length;
    }

    return message;
  }

  // Parse individual field
  parseField(buffer, offset, fieldNumber) {

      value = buffer.slice(offset + 2, offset + 2 + length);
      length += 2;
    } else if (fieldSpec.variant === 'LLLVAR') {
      const lengthBytes = buffer.slice(offset, offset + 3);
      length = parseInt(lengthBytes.toString('ascii'));
      value = buffer.slice(offset + 3, offset + 3 + length);
      length += 3;
    }

    return { value, length };
  }

  // Validate message
  validateMessage(message) {
    // Validate MTI
    if (!message.mti || message.mti.length !== 4) {
      throw new Error('Invalid MTI');
    }

    // Validate mandatory fields based on MTI
    const mandatoryFields = this.getMandatoryFields(message.mti);
    for (const field of mandatoryFields) {
      if (!message.fields[field]) {
        throw new Error(`Mandatory field ${field} is missing`);
      }
    }

    // Validate field formats
    for (const [fieldNumber, fieldValue] of Object.entries(message.fields)) {
      this.validateField(parseInt(fieldNumber), fieldValue);
    }
  }

  // Route message based on business rules
  routeMessage(message) {
    // Example routing based on BIN (first 6 digits of PAN)
    const pan = message.fields[2];
    if (pan && pan.length >= 6) {
      const bin = pan.toString('ascii').substring(0, 6);

      for (const [rule, destination] of this.routingTable) {
        if (rule.type === 'bin' && bin.startsWith(rule.value)) {
          return destination;
        }
      }
    }

    // Default routing
    return 'default_processor';
  }

  // Handle message with registered handlers
  async handleMessage(message, destination) {
    const handlers = this.handlers.get(message.mti) || [];

    for (const handler of handlers) {
      try {
        const result = await handler(message, destination);
        if (result) {
          return result;

      } catch (error) {
        this.logger.error(`Handler error for MTI ${message.mti}:`, error);
      }
    }

    // Default response if no handlers
    return this.createDefaultResponse(message);
