CREDIT CARD VALIDATOR

Abstract

This Luhn algorithm is used for validating the credit cards of users and it also helps to protect from typing errors and accidental errors on several e-commerce websites. But This Luhn algorithm failed to detect the credit card number length and card number type. Therefore, increase the Luhn algorithm for card number validation. This enhancement process is useful for several e-commerce websites which use this algorithm. This algorithm will be used in this GUI program to validate credit cards.

Introduction

A credit card is the most vital card for cashless payment. It means it is used for the purchase of several services and products or goods offline or online. In the credit card, there are 16 digits which are divided into four parts such as, industry ID, issuer ID, Account Number, and checksum. The first number represents industry ID, then the next 5 digits represent the ID of the issuer, then the next 9 digits represent the user's account number, and the remaining one digit represents checksum. 

Methodology

 This Luhn algorithm is developed to protect consumers and companies against typing errors and accidental errors. In the Luhn algorithm, there is one specified method for checking and validating credit cards such as mod 10. In the first step, this algorithm checks the second digit to the last digit and moves towards the left, and checks alternative double value digits (Save et al. 2017). If any value fetched from this specified step is bigger than nine digits then nine digits will subtract from the value. In the second step adding the values of digits with original 16 digits numbers and exclude all check digits. In the third step, divide the summation with 10 and check the remainder value (Wachira, 2017). If the value of the remainder is zero then this digit is checked if the value of the remainder is not zero then subtract the value of remainder with 10. 

Testing

For testing this algorithm, take a credit card number of the master card such as 5542-1356-1141-2501.

Step 1: Calculate the number from the second digit to the last digit and move towards the left and check alternative double value digits. If any value fetched from this specific step is bigger than nine digits then nine digits will subtract from the value

 Divide the additional value with 10 and check the remainder value. If the value of the remainder is zero then this digit is checked and validated. if the value of the remainder is not zero then subtract the value of remainder with 10 and check the subtracted value (Ilango and Acram, 2018). as an example, 

49 is divided by 10 if the remainder value is 9 then subtract 9 with 10. After that If the subtraction value is 1 then is the same as the last number of the credit card, therefore this credit card is validated.

Requirements

For this project it requires C#, 

Windows presentation foundation (WPF) UI framework,

and visual studio 2015.

Implementation

In this credit card validation program, there are several libraries such as generic, component model, data, drawing, windows form, and LINQ (Asritha et al. 2017). This program is a GUI-based program. to create this credit card validator GUI-based program through the use of windows form. In this program there are several uses for implementation such as, is Validbutton_Click method is used to check all logic works correctly or not and it also checks if a user fills up all blank space or not (Bendale et al. 2019). This program can create six kinds of credit cards as visa cards, MasterCard, American express, discover, and diner club cards. All card numbers are implemented through the Luhn algorithm. Also, this program checks card types by using the check card type method. This program can detect six kinds of numbers by using card numbers (Jonathan et al. 2017). All things are possible for the Luhn algorithm. This program helps to differentiate six different kinds of cards by six different methods. 

Conclusion

This Luhn algorithm helps to validate user credit cards and protect from typing errors and accidental errors but this algorithm has some weakness and it is confirmed through several tests it will conduct two different kinds of tests for several card numbers. Some examples and experiments have been shown in the paper. It also included the Luhn algorithm improvement. Also, the vital factor is this algorithm helps to analyze card number user ID from websites for non-repudiation to ensure several customers or users.
