Identifying contents of PBIX archive

I'm working on a tool that validates the contents of a PBIX archive.

 

Wondering if there are reliable ways I can identify the file type of the files inside the PBIX zip ?

 

I've managed to work out some of them, but am unsure for SecurityBindings and Settings ?

 

Are the binary versions of these files in a standard format, or do they have reliable signatures I could use for file type identification ?

You could do that, or you could make your life easier by using the PBIP format.
