Validate a .pkpass Archive

See more Digital Signatures Examples

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.
