Required Inputs to the File Signing Process
The required inputs to the file signing process are somewhat different for
development devices than deployment devices.
Table 13
Differences Between Required Inputs
Development Device
Deployment Devices
Manufacturing inputs to the file signing
process are included, together with the
VeriShield File Signing Tool in the V
x
810
SDK. These inputs make it possible for
anyone who has the
V
x
810 SDK to sign and authenticate files.
The required inputs to the VeriShield File
Signing Tool must be obtained from the
VeriFone CA to logically secure the
sponsor and signer privileges for the
device.
The following two factory inputs are
required for the file signing process, in
addition to the application files you want to
sign and authenticate:
•
Default signer certificate
, with the
filename VXSIGN.CRT
•
Default signer private key
, with the
filename VXSIGN.KEY
The following three unique inputs, which
are issued at customer request by the
VeriFone CA, are required for the file
signing process, as well as the application
files you want to sign and authenticate:
•
Customer signer certificate:
This
unique certificate is a required input for
the VeriShield File Signing Tool and
must be downloaded onto the device
along with the signature files and target
application files to authenticate, unless
already downloaded onto the device in
a previous operation.
•
Customer signer private key:
The
VeriFone CA issues this unique,
encrypted private key file (*.key) to an
authorized signer at the sponsor’s
request. The signer private key is a
required input to the VeriShield File
Signing Tool, but does not have to be
downloaded onto the device.
•
Customer signer PIN:
The VeriFone
CA issues this unique password to an
authorized signer at the sponsor’s
request. The customer signer password
is a required input to the VeriShield File
Signing Tool, but it does not have to be
downloaded onto the device.
Note:
A default signer password is not
a required entry when using the
VeriShield File Signing Tool to
sign files for a V
x
810
development device.
Note:
The customer sponsor certificate,
which authenticates the
customer signer certificate, is
usually downloaded onto the
device with the customer signer
certificate, but it is not a required
VeriShield File Signing Tool input
when signing files.
