Revision as of 15:11, 23 July 2022
Current Version (>= 2020?)
General Observation
- Uses PDF417 barcode format, same content on PDF and in the official app.
- Variable length.
- For domestic tickets only.
- No similarities with a known ERA format.
Outer Structure
- Two byte header, fixed 0x0403.
- Gzip-compressed payload using deflate compression, starting with the standard Gzip header 0x1f8b0800000000000000.
- 256 remaining bytes, high entropy and length suggest a cryptographic signature.
Payload Structure
- Seems byte- rather than bit-aligned.
- String encoding is UTF-8.
- Number encoding seems big endian.
- Content has a high amount of null bytes.
- Date/time values are encoded as seconds since 2017-01-01 00:00:00 CET (or 2016-12-31 23:00:00 UTC). Exception: traveler birth date.
- Consists of a variable set of blocks.
- Block layout is defined by information in the header block, there does not seem to be a TLV-like structure.
- Observed block layouts:
- Header block.
- Either passenger or bike addon block.
- Trip block.
- 0-2 reservation/surcharge blocks.
Header Block
- Always present.
- Always at offset 0.
- 39 bytes long.
Offset | Size | Data Type | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 17 | string | ticket number | printed as "CIV" in the PDF |
17 | 1 | null | ? | null in all samples |
18 | 2 | uint16 | UIC company code | issuer?, 0x0483 (1155) for MÁV-Start |
20 | 4 | time | issuing time | |
24 | 1 | ? | ticket type?? | 'C' for bike addon tickets, 'B' or 'D' for regular tickets (with or without seat reservation, 'E' for tickets with surcharge (and with or without seat reservation), null for "connecting ticket to season ticket" |
25 | 2 | ? | ? | |
27 | 1 | null | ? | null in all samples |
28 | 1 | ? | ticket type?? | 0x01 for bike addon block, 0x81 for passenger block |
29 | 1 | null | ? | null in all samples |
30 | 1 | uint8 | number of reservation/surcharge blocks | |
31 | 4 | null | ? | null in all samples |
35 | 4 | ? | ? | only two distinct values observed in all samples |
Passenger Block
- Present when header block byte 28 is 0x81.
- When present, located right after the header block (offset 39).
- 68 bytes long.
Offset | Size | Data Type | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 45 | string | passenger name | null terminated |
45 | 4 | uint32 | passenger birth date | year * 10000 + month * 100 + day |
49 | 15 | null | ? | null in all samples |
64 | 4 | ? | ? |
Bike Addon Block
- Present when header block byte 28 is 0x01.
- When present, located right after the header block.
- 4 bytes long.
Offset | Size | Data Type | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 4 | ? | ? | values seem fixed in all samples? |
Trip Block
- Always present.
- Follows the passenger or bike addon block (offset 107 or 43).
- 110 bytes long.
Offset | Size | Data Type | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 3 | uint24 | UIC departure station code | including the national prefix ('55' for HU) |
3 | 3 | uint24 | UIC arrival station code | |
6 | 90 | 10 * uint24 | UIC station codes | list of vias, null if not set |
96 | 1 | text | class | "1" or "2" |
97 | 1 | ? | ? | 0x01 in all samples |
98 | 4 | time | time of validity/travel | |
102 | 1 | null | ? | null in all samples |
103 | 1 | ? | ? | 0x00 or 0x05 in all samples |
104 | 1 | ? | ? | varying between samples, 0x01 or 0xef observed |
105 | 1 | ? | ? | same as byte 103 |
106 | 4 | ? | ? | varying between samples |
Seat Reservation Block
- 57 bytes long.
- Also used for surcharge ("Pótjegy") blocks, in which case the fields for coach and seat numbers are all null.
- Order of surcharge and reservation blocks seems undefined if both are present.
- Follow all other blocks, number of blocks determined by header block byte 30.
Offset | Size | Data Type | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 3 | uint24 | UIC departure station code | |
3 | 3 | uint24 | UIC arrival station code | |
6 | 4 | ? | ? | |
10 | 4 | time | time of validity/travel | |
14 | 2 | uint16 | UIC company code | operator?, 0x0483 (1155) for MÁV-Start |
16 | 5 | string | train number | null-terminated |
21 | 1 | ? | ? | 0x01 in all samples |
22 | 3 | string | coach number | null terminated |
25 | 2 | uint16 | seat number | |
27 | 2 | uint16 | seat number | repeated from byte 25/26? |
29 | 28 | null | ? | null bytes in all samples |
Missing/Suspected Information
Station names are not included, but station codes might be. UIC station numbers (possibly without the country prefix) would be the obvious suspect, given the MÁV website uses those as well.If the train number is included, one would expect at least the day of travel to be included as well.Class: several candidate locations exist, but given it's small footprint we need a lot more samples to confirm one of those.
Alternative Format (>= 2022?)
General Observations
- PDF looks generally similar to the above, with slightly smaller PDF417 codes
- Unclear whether this supersedes the above format, or whether this only applies to a certain type of ticket.
Outer Structure
- Two byte header, fixed 0x0501.
- 17 digit ticket numbers, ASCII
- 1 null byte
- 4 digit issuer UIC code (1155 for MAV), ASCII
- GZip header and gzip-comprressed data
Inner Structure
Only the following sequence has been observed so far, it is possible the optional blocks as noted above would appear in a similar fashion though.
- Header block, starting at byte 20, ie. omitting the first 20 bytes (those occur before the compressed payload).
- Passenger block, same as above.
- Trip block, same as above.
- At least the passenger information block described above occurs in exactly the same format in there.
Old Format (<2020?)
General Structure
- QR code containing a hex string
- content of the hex string is zlib-compressed, no header bytes
- result of decompression is a UTF-8 encoded string
- the first 512 bytes appear to be a hex string again, length and entropy suggest a cryptographic signature
- the second part looks like a '!' delimited list
