17、and is used in many critical applications. Knowing that the source code being relied upon is the same as that which was used in testing is vital to ensuring the safety and security of a particular application. Given the ease with which source code can be modified, some method of protecting the integ

18、rity and authenticity of the source code is necessary. Sequestration of the source code throughout the supply chain is one possible method, but ensuring protection in that way is impractical and unreliable. Virtual protection through the use of a digital signature offers a practical solution and pro

19、vides integrity and authentication even though the source code may traverse an insecure supply chain. Source code may be modified for legitimate reasons as it moves through the supply chain or over time. Modifications to source code may be made to correct the software or to adapt it for other purpos

20、es. Modifications may only involve changes to a few lines of code and in most cases is not made by the original author or team of authors. Revision control software facilitates tracking of the software changes, but such tracking can easily be spoofed. The use of a digital signature provides a means

21、to restrict the ability to spoof. Digital code signing assigns a responsible party to each revision of the source code and thus can demonstrate the authenticity of the responsible party, the source code and the software changes that have been made between revisions. By doing this, an electronic pedi

22、gree for the source code can be established. This standard specifies the process for signing source code in order to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the source code and a means for rolling back the source code to signed previous versions. Clause 5 provides an overview of the concepts of cod

23、e signing. Conformance requirements for this standard are specified in Clause 6. Annex A is informative and provides a step by step description of a typical application for the standard specified in Clause 6 to assist in understanding code signing. The bibliography lists documents that were referenc

24、ed during preparation of this standard.

25、utral and environment-neutral description to define the methodology needed to support the signing of software source code, to enable it to be uniquely identified, and to enable roll-back to signed previous versions. It is intended to be used by originators of software source code and the recipients

26、of their signed source code. This International Standard is designed for transfers of source code among disparate entities. The following areas are outside the scope of this International Standard: Determination of the trust level of a certification authority; Format used to track revisions of sourc

27、e code files; Digital signing of object or binary code; System configuration and resource availability; Metadata This is partially addressed by ISO/IEC 19770-2; Transmission and representation issues Though this could be an issue in implementation, there are techniques such as Portable Document Form

28、at (PDF) 1)that can be used to mitigate these issues. This applies in particular to the transmission of digital signatures. 2 Conformance An implementation of code signing conforms to this International Standard if it meets the requirements specified in Clause 6. 3 Normative references The following

40、copy of a configuration 5 Concepts This clause provides an overview of the concepts of code signing. Code signing is a technique for providing a digital signature for source code to support a verification of the originator and a verification that the code has not been altered since it was signed. Co

41、de signing can provide several valuable functions such as: knowledge of the history of the source code confidence that the source code has not been accidentally or maliciously altered verification of the identity of the responsible party for the source code accountability for the source code non-rep

42、udiation of the originator of the source code Code signing identifies to customers the responsible party for the source code and confirms that it has not been modified since the signature was applied. Verification of the originator of the source code of the software is extremely important since the

43、security and integrity of the receiving systems can be compromised by faulty or malicious code. In addition to protecting the security and integrity of the software, code signing provides authentication of the author, originator or distributor of the source code, and protects the brand and the intel

44、lectual property of the developer of the software by making applications uniquely identifiable and more difficult to falsify or alter maliciously. When source code is associated with an originators unique signature, distributing source code on the Internet is no longer an anonymous activity. Digital

45、 signatures ensure accountability, just as a manufacturers brand name ensures accountability with packaged software. Distributions on the Internet lack this accountability and code signing provides a means to offer the needed accountability. Accountability can be a strong deterrent to the distributi

46、on of harmful code. Even though software may be acquired or distributed from an untrusted site or a site that is unfamiliar, the fact that it is signed by a known and trusted entity allows the software to be used with confidence that it has not been changed as compared to the most recently signed ve

47、rsion. ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved 3BS ISO/IEC 17960:2015ISO/IEC 17960:2015(E) In addition to the valuable functions that code signing offers, this International Standard will specifically facilitate the following capabilities: a mechanism to show what has been altered in the source code and th

48、e responsible party for such changes; multiple signatures to allow for an audit trail of the signed source code; versioning information; storage of other metadata about the source code. The capability for a tracking mechanism and multiple signatures for one piece of source code is needed in some cas

49、es in order to create a digital trail through the history of the source code. Consider a signed piece of source code. Someone should be able to modify a portion of the source code, even if just one line or even one character, without assuming responsibility for the remainder of the source code. A recipient of the source code should be able to identify the responsible party for each portion of the source code. For inst
