FILE AUTHENTICATION
Introduction to File Authentication
78 VX 520 REFERENCE GUIDE
How File
Authentication
Works
File authentication consists of three basic processes:
1 Development: The VeriShield File Signing Tool creates a signature file for
each application file to authenticate.
2 Pre-deployment: An optimal certificate structure is determined, and the
necessary certificates and keys are created.
3 Deployment: The development and pre-deployment processes, once
complete, are used in combination to prepare a terminal for deployment.
Development Process
In this process:
1 The application developer creates an application file.
2 Application developer applies for Sponsor and Signer certificates. The
absence of a “default” signer certificate compels developers to apply for a
dedicated Signer certificate.
3 The developer assigns a name to the application file.
4 The application file becomes a required input for the VeriShield File Signing
Tool.
5 Using the application file, Signer certificate, and Signer password, the
VeriShield File Signing Tool creates a signature file (*.p7s).
6 The signature file and the original application file are loaded into a
development terminal, where the following actions occur:
a The terminal’s operating system searches for signature files.
b When a signature file is found, the operating system then searches for a
matching application file.
c When a matching application file is found, the operating system compares
the signature file’s signature against the values stored in the application
file’s calculated signature.
d If these values match, the operating system marks the application file
“authenticated” and allows it to run.
7 The application file is tested and debugged.
8 After the application file is fully debugged, it becomes an input for the
deployment process.
