7.7 ICMP-X device certificate
Purpose of the ICMP-X device certificate
The device certificate (*. pem) of the ICMP-X is a digital certificate signed by Barco which is required when
ordering the KDM to play a DCP that is ingested on the ICMP-X. The device certificate is stored inside the
ICMP-X and on a web server.
Use your control software to retrieve the device certificate directly from the ICMP-X, or retrieve the device
certificate from the website by using the QR (Quick Response) code located on the front face. See procedure
“Obtaining the ICMP-X certificate”, page 86 .

Trusted Device List (TDL)
The Goal of the TDL is to maintain timely and accurate information on participating auditoriums so
that participating subscribers can obtain information needed to issue KDMs. The TDL has several
data sources: Device manufacturers, Exhibitors, Deployment Entities, Integrators, Service
Providers (interacting with Exhibitors), regional authorities and Support.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
PKI is a framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key
cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (
CA ), which issues digital
certificates that authenticate the identity of organizations and individuals over a public system such
as the Internet. The certificates are also used to sign messages, which ensures that messages
have not been tampered with.
