(Node.js) Validate a .pkpass Archive

Opens a .pkpass archive (which is just a .zip renamed to .pkpass) and validates the contents. The hashes in the manifest are compared with the computed hash values for each individual file. If all computed hash values match, then the signature is verified.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS
