Generation of Card Security Codes
CVC1, CVV1, CVC2 and CVV2 values are generated when the card is issued. The values are calculated by encrypting the bank card number (also known as the primary account number or PAN), expiration date and service code with encryption keys (often called Card Verification Key or CVK) known only to the issuing bank, and decimalising the result.
