Check Mechanism

Section:

Distribution

Description:

During release of the package files a file package.fpi is created which contains the checksum.

1. When a target file is written, the checksum is recalculated for the file. After the writing process the calculated checksum is compared with the package.fpi (source).

2. After the target file is written, the target file is checked to see if it is the same size as the source file.

3. If there are deviations in steps 1 or 2, the target file is deleted and re-distributed (up to three times).

You can guarantee higher security by using the Extended option. In this case a checksum is calculated again according to the written target file after the writing process. The checksum is then compared with the sum determined in step 1.

Simple, Extended
