3. The secure certificate file is used to validate the signature of code files and data files as
soon as they are installed. The secure certificate can also be accessed as needed
throughout the download procedure.
4. If the download is successful, the secure certificate file will be erased from a temporary
location and updated into SSA’s memory.
10.3 Secure Certificate Text File
The secure certificate is a text file that contains security information for a download
package.
Once the text file is constructed, it must be passed through a securing utility which
generates the MAC of the certificate. The utility will also generate MACs for all of the
software components described in the certificate.
The secure certificate contains all the security information necessary for SSA to determine
if the downloaded application is eligible to upgrade. The secure certificate is also a
descriptor of all the software components that are necessary to make up a download
session. In effect, the secure certificate represents an application descriptor file that
contains secured fingerprints for each of the software components representing the
application.
The following is an example of a secure certificate text file.
