Credit Card Validator¶

The Credit Card Validator is a built-in utility within the Privacera Portal that enables users to verify credit card numbers for validity. It uses the Luhn algorithm—a widely adopted checksum formula for validating identification numbers—along with a set of default Bank Identification Number (BIN) and Issuer Identification Number (IIN) ranges to perform the validation.

This tool is purpose-built with security and privacy as top priorities. All validation operations are executed locally and securely, ensuring that no credit card information is transmitted, logged, or stored within the system. The Credit Card Validator simplifies validation tasks while supporting compliance through secure, stateless processing with industry-standard algorithms.
