Gala

Named after the Gala apple, Gala is a Ruby library for decrypting Apple Pay payment tokens.

Gala is available under the MIT License.

Ruby support

  • For Ruby v2.3 and below, please use the legacy-ruby branch, or specify gala v0.3.2.
  • For Ruby >= 2.4, use the master branch or specify gala v0.4 and above

Install

Add gala to your Gemfile.

gem "gala", "~> 0.4.0"

If you need to track a development branch or reference functionality not yet contained in the RubyGem release you can specify the gala repo directly.

gem "gala", git: "https://github.com/spreedly/gala.git", ref: :master

Then bundle install to fetch Gala into your local environment.

Usage

Gala works by:

  1. Initializing an instance of Gala::PaymentToken with the hash of values present in the Apple Pay token string (a JSON representation of this data).
  2. Decrypting the token using the PEM formatted merchant certificate and private key (the latter of which, at least, is managed by a third-party such as a gateway or independent processor like Spreedly).
require "gala"

# token_json = raw token string you get from your iOS app
token_attrs = JSON.parse(token_json)
token = Gala::PaymentToken.new(token_attrs)

certificate_pem = File.read("mycert.pem")
private_key_pem = File.read("private_key.pem")

decrypted_json = token.decrypt(certificate_pem, private_key_pem)
JSON.parse(decrypted_json)
# =>
{
  "applicationPrimaryAccountNumber"=>"4109370251004320",
  "applicationExpirationDate"=>"200731",
  "currencyCode"=>"840",
  "transactionAmount"=>100,
  "deviceManufacturerIdentifier"=>"040010030273",
  "paymentDataType"=>"3DSecure",
  "paymentData"=> {
    "onlinePaymentCryptogram"=>"Af9x/QwAA/DjmU65oyc1MAABAAA=",
    "eciIndicator"=>"5"
  }
}
