Ultimately, it is the sponsor’s decision how to implement the logical security 
provided by file authentication on a field-deployed device. Additional certificates 
can be obtained from the VeriFone CA anytime to implement new sponsor and 
signer relationships in deployment devices. VeriShield allows for multiple 
sponsors and signing certificates in a device. This allows the flexibility of unique 
signatures for each executable or data files.

Figure 29

Certificate Trees in Development and Deployment Devices

Permanency of the Certificate Tree

The data contained in a digital certificate is stored in the device’s certificate tree 
when the certificate is authenticated, and the certificate file itself is erased from 
SRAM.

The certificate tree file is stored in a reserved area of non-volatile memory and is 
therefore relatively permanent. New certificate data can be added to the existing 
certificate tree (up to a maximum of 21 certificates).
