Layout of Activation Token

This is the CFDictionary string representation which gets sent to Apple's server.The object can be obtained by using the MobileDevice Library, AMDeviceCopyValue function with the "ActivationInfo" value.

It is generated by lockdownd. Upon generation it stores ActivationRandomness in data ark and later checks it, thus only the last generated token it valid. SHA1 is generated in lockdown and then it makes a request to fairplayd to complete signature process and obtain certificate chain.

 <dict>
       <key>ActivationInfoComplete</key>
       <true/>
       <key>ActivationInfoXML</key>
       
       (base64-encoded activation info here)
       
       <key>FairPlayCertChain</key>
       
       (base64-encoded SSL certificate chain including root CA in DER format)
       
       <key>FairPlaySignature</key>
       
       (base64-encoded signature (SHA1+RSA) of ActivationInfoXML, validated using FairPlayCertChain certificate)
       
 </dict>

Key: ActivationInfoXML

The ActivationInfo plist file above has a key called ActivationInfoXML. The base64 data value of that key represents the plist file below

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
