public interface PaymentGatewayTamperProofSealService
Several Gateways have a method of communication that uses the HTTP Request/Response model and the client's browser to transmit transaction result information back to the system. In some cases, these gateways don't return a tokenized response, but plain-text parameters. For example: In cases where the application needs to complete an order asynchronously (via a Webhook or SilentPost) we need to send information about the customer id and the order id to the gateway in the original request so that a call back to the server from the gateway will return those values and the system will know how to associate the completed transaction with an order.
This mechanism is susceptible to forgery if an attacker wishes to recreate the response result manually. That is, if the attacker knows the endpoint of the callback URL, they can manually change the Customer ID and the Order ID that is returned.
Using this service allows the implementor to create a Tamper Proof Seal of the Customer and Order ID using a secret key (one option being the merchant secret key of the gateway). On any web response from a gateway that has plain-text Order ID and Customer ID parameters returned, the verifySeal() method should be called to check if the values have been tampered with.
