KDE PIM/KItinerary/ZSSK Barcode

From KDE Community Wiki

Domestic Ticket

General Observation

  • Aztec barcode, in PDF or image
  • Variable length
  • For domestic tickets only, international ones use RCT2 in UIC 918.3 container
  • zlib compressed textual payload starting at offset 3.
  • zlib decompressed content is plain text and hardly larger than the full compressed data, which suggests the compressed data doesn't span the full length of the barcode (signature?).

Textual Payload Structure

  • 34 lines, delimited by 0x0A
  • UTF-8 encoded
  • date/time format: 8 digits, the first 4 seems to correspond to the day?, the last four are the time in hhmm format.
