Detailed Description Interoperable ticket and token storage & SDK for tokenization

Description : VDV eTicket Service (VDV-ETS) is responsible for the German public transport standard "eTicket Deutschland." This standard provides the technical and organizational platform for operating an interoperable electronic ticketing system in public transport in Germany. In addition to developing and publishing the technical standard, establishing organizational rules for participants, and testing the components used, VDV-ETS also operates central infrastructure for the transport companies and associations participating in eTicket Deutschland. Parts of the German public transport sector aim to implement cashless ticket sales on vehicles. Initial implementation projects are already in the planning or implementation phase. For these ABT/ID-based ticketing solutions and the closely integrated public transport networks, particularly in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), an interoperable ticket and token repository is required to verify tickets across regions. In the interest of the NRW Ministry of Transport and for the sake of efficient long-term implementation, a shared system is to be developed that is capable of storing ticket data and tickets in the medium term. To support German transport companies in using bank and credit card-based sales technologies, it must be ensured that components relevant for verification are accessible to all parties involved. In this process chain, the interoperable ticket and token repository is the key system that stores the established link between the bank or credit card and the fare product in the form of a pseudonym (e.g., a cryptographic hash) and makes it available to the connected transport companies upon request. For public transport across city or network boundaries, this repository must be interoperable, highly available, standardized, and non-discriminatory. For efficient, long-term, industry-wide application, the system, in its final state, will store and make available for verification both ticket data generated during purchases via bank or credit card and other standardized ticket data.
