Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008096041A1] In the invention, the file structures of an electronic ticket are protected by sealing. The file structure of the ticket includes the basic data of the ticket and the information of the ticket application. This file structure can be read, written and processed by ticket handling apparatus, and at least part of the information of the ticket application is protected by seals. In connection with the selling, the first seal is calculated by a ticket handling apparatus, using the basic data of the ticket and the information of the ticket application, and this first seal is written on the ticket. Some encryption method is used for calculating the seal. This seal protects the information by which it has been calculated. The second seal is calculated in connection with the stamping of the ticket by the ticket handling apparatus, using the basic data of the ticket, the updated information of the ticket application and the broken first seal. When the second seal and the updated information of the ticket application have been written on the ticket, the broken first seal is written in place of the intact first seal. When the ticket is being checked in the ticket handling device, it calculates a reference seal from the values read from the ticket, and compares it with the read seal. If the reference seal and the read seal correspond to each other, the ticket is accepted. If the ticket has been checked and accepted, the information on the ticket that is not protected by a seal can be updated. The ticket can be saved on a remote-readable travel card, a contact card, a one-time card with a memory or a mobile communication device.
