A Mobile Wallet Pass is a file compressed into a zip format with the extension .pkpass.
This file contains a JSON (plain text) with the structure of the pass (texts, barcode, metadata), images in PNG format and a digital signature.
All Mobile Wallet Passes are composed of the following technological infrastructure:
A Native Wallet App to Save and Display passes → Wallet for iOs and Google Pay for Android
the pass itself (.pkpass file)
a server that broadcasts passes
third-party servers (Apple's and others) that allow Push Notifications to be delivered to Pass Holders, depending on the end user's device platform.
As an interactive technology, a Mobile Wallet Pass Template can have the following metadata in order to establish its functionality and availability:
a relevant date
expiration date
-
associations to a geographical location with its coordinates and/or associations with Bluetooth Mobile devices known as iBeacons
It allows passes to be displayed on the lock screen when the time comes or when the device that stores the pass is around a place or near the signal of an iBeacon device.
