Revision as of 15:25, 24 August 2021

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

Note: this is based on very few samples so far and thus isn't very reliable yet!

  • 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 Jan 1st 2017. Times are local but do not account for DST. (Exception: traveler birth date).
  • At least three observed variants, so maybe some kind of (fixed-length?) block structure (but no signs of TLV byte 24/25/(26) might suggest some kind of TLV?):
    • 217 bytes, personalized train ticket without seat reservation
    • 274 bytes, personalized train ticket with seat reservation
    • 153 bytes, bike addon ticket
    • 331 bytes, personailed train ticket with seat reservation and "Pótjegy"
    • seems to correlate to the type of light blue boxes on the PDF, but so far it's unclear how to determine which blocks are present

Header/Ticket Block

(for the 217 or 274 byte variants)

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 MAV
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 ? ?
39 45 string passenger name null terminated
84 4 uint32 passenger birth date year * 10000 + month * 100 + day
88 15 null ? null in all samples
103 4 ? ?
107 3 uint24 UIC departure station code including the national prefix ('55' for HU)
110 3 uint24 UIC arrival station code
113 90 null ? null in all samples
203 1 text class "1" or "2"
204 1 ? ? 0x01 in all samples
205 4 time time of validity/travel
209 8 ? ?

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.
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 MAV
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.

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
