Determination of apparatus configuration and programming data

摘要

A method including determining a public identifier for identifying a configuration of an apparatus, determining a common configuration certificate comprising a common configuration certificate identifier for verifying programming data, and determining a hardware certificate comprising the public identifier and the common configuration certificate identifier for associating a permitted combination of the apparatus configuration and the programming data. Furthermore, the method includes generating a dedicated package of the hardware certificates corresponding to the apparatus configurations allowed to be provided, encrypting the dedicated package of the hardware certificates using a public key, and storing the encrypted dedicated package of the hardware certificates with an identifier to a passive memory of the apparatus.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a wireless short range communications interface configured to communicate with an apparatus; at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to: determine a public identifier for identifying a configuration of the apparatus; determine a common configuration certificate associated with a particular version of programming data comprising a common configuration certificate identifier for verifying programming data; determine a hardware certificate comprising the public identifier and the common configuration certificate identifier for associating a permitted combination of the apparatus configuration and the programming data; generate a dedicated package of the hardware certificates corresponding to the apparatus configurations allowed to be provided; encrypt the dedicated package of the hardware certificates using a public key; and store the encrypted dedicated package of the hardware certificates with an identifier to a passive memory of the apparatus.
