Research direction

Start in cybersource/rest-client-php/lib/Api/KeyGenerationApi.php at line 172 and trace the generatePublicKey() call with masking enabled. Compare the bare-array request path with DataMasker::maskData's JSON-string expectation, then verify that the failure no longer occurs for that input.

Description

\CyberSource\Api\KeyGenerationApi::generatePublicKey() will fail if masking is enabled.

The code fails in cybersource/rest-client-php/lib/Api/KeyGenerationApi.php, line 172 because $httpBody is an array and \CyberSource\Utilities\Helpers\DataMasker::maskData expects to be passed a JSON string. Something gets lost along the way if you call generatePublicKey() with a bare array.
