Opening a TOKEN File
The TOKEN file type is primarily associated with ATP.
What is a TOKEN file
TOKEN files mostly belong to ATP. TOKEN files can serve different purposes based on their internal format and origin.
One common use follows the ATP file format used by the Advanced Token Processor. In this case, the file acts as a secure container to hold threat protection data.
Another variation stores Apple change tokens in a plist structure. These files carry authentication data used within CloudKit by Apple iCloud.
A third use is as an Apple activation file in XML format, which holds macOS software activation data managed by Apple Configurator 2.
Consider the following points:If your file uses the ATP format, refer to your advanced threat protection system to open it. For plist-based token files, a text or specialized plist viewer can display the data. If the file is in XML for activation, Apple Configurator 2 or related Apple tools will process it.

Programs that open and convert TOKEN files:
- ATP
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. TOKEN files are often referred to as ATP data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- various security and system softwareA *.TOKEN file can refer to several distinct file formats. One common type is associated with Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) software, often using the ATP file format. These files play a crucial role in enhancing security measures against advanced threats. Another prominent usage of *.TOKEN files is within the Apple ecosystem. They can represent authentication data, often stored in the plist format and utilized by services like CloudKit. Additionally, *.TOKEN files can also function as macOS software activation data, typically employing the XML format and managed by tools like Apple Configurator 2. This file format is classified as Data File.
TOKEN file format:
If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our analysis of the TOKEN files produces the following result:
As a file extension, TOKEN isn't very common and is used by different programs with different formats. But the following two file formats are common:
- 30% of all TOKEN files start with the bytes 0D 0D 00 00 crucial for this file format. The content consists of binary data as well as text and words. The average file size is 35 bytes with most files being between 35 bytes and 40 bytes in size. The file type is a fairly new file format. The following keywords are characteristic: Atp Token File. An example of a file name is ATPFile_CE6EEE48-3663-4393-AEBB-9A55F7C1723F.token or ATPFile_CE6EEE48-3663-4393-AEBB-9A55F7C1723F (1).token. Such files sometimes refer to atpfile and aebb.
- 15% of all TOKEN files store the data in the plist file format. A property list file is a structured text file that contains user's settings or macOS apps configuration. The content also consists of readable text fragments, which can be viewed with the help of a text editor. TOKEN files are between 260 bytes and 290 bytes in size. The following keywords are characteristic: bplist00, ChangeTokenData, NSKeyedArchiver, Troot, U$null, V$class_, X$versionY$archiverT$topX$objects, Z$classnameX$classes_ and CKServerChangeToken. An example of a file name is Private.token or BeaconStore.token. Such files sometimes refer to appleaccount, apple, beneficiary, zone, information, bluetooth, custodian, beacon, device and store.
The remaining 55% of all TOKEN files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. XML and BkDPLDI. If you want to find out what your TOKEN file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
