accept all train-related data when boarding/validation box


Explanation:
When the ticket is inspected on the train, the certificate is read into a checking device which decrypts the certificate and displays the ticket-related data.
Englisch: mct.sbb.ch/mct/en/shop-agb.htm Bei der Billettkontrolle im Zug wird das Zertifikat in ein Kontrollgerät eingelesen, welches das Zertifikat entschlüsselt und die Billett-Daten anzeigt.

Vor dem Einsteigen in den Zug müssen die TGV-Tickets an den orangen Entwertungsmaschinen auf dem Bahnsteig entwertet werden.
German: www.continental.com/web/de-DE/conte...76E43B7B198A Customers should use the orange validation boxes located on the platform to validate their TGV ticket before boarding the train.

I am not sure, but I thought more of a checking system ( maybe in the train) for tickets. Could that be so?
