Command:

Validate the S₃ MAC for load or unload transactions.

Notes:

Use of this command requires the optional ESP licence. Error code 67 will be returned if the command is not licensed.

After a CEP card completes processing, it generates an S₃ MAC to prove to the issuer that the load or unload transaction was completed successfully.  This function is used by the load processor to verify the S₃ MAC
