Monitoring Firmware Integrity
RUGGEDCOM ROX II can perform an integrity check to verify the integrity of running programs and installed files.
The integrity check can be invoked in the following ways:
• automatically at system start-up
• as a scheduled job
• on demand via the user interface
If an unauthorized/unexpected modification is detected during the integrity check, an alarm is triggered and each
offending file or program is logged.
NOTE
RUGGEDCOM ROX II validates the authenticity and integrity of the firmware. Software upgrades are
cryptographically signed at the factory by Siemens and cannot be falsified. The firmware upgrade
package is validated cryptographically at the time of the upgrade. During operation, the integrity of the
installed files is verified and all running programs are verified to be part of the validated installation.
CAUTION!
Security hazard – risk of unauthorized access and/or exploitation. For the firmware integrity check to
be meaningful, appropriate care must be taken to protect the device. Make sure physical access to
the device is restricted to authorized personnel only and that administrator login credentials are kept
secure.
IMPORTANT!
The firmware integrity check only analyzes RUGGEDCOM ROX II operating system files. It does not
detect additional files that may have been placed by a malicious user, unless they are program binary
files that are running at the time of the integrity check.
