Remarks

A PackageDigitalSignature object is immutable and cannot be altered after it is created.

For security, a PackageDigitalSignature can be associated with parts within a Package. A PackageDigitalSignature incorporates an X.509 certificate that provides two features:

  • Identifies and authenticates the originator of the part.

  • Validates that the part has not been modified.

The digital signature does not preclude a part from being modified, but a validation check against the signature fails if the part has changed in any way. The application can then take appropriate action - for example, it can prevent the part from opening or it can notify the user that the part has been modified and is not secure.
