BIS releases DSUtils

Post by Snake Man »

Maruk posted in BIS forums that the DSUtils (DSCreateKey / DSCheckSignatures) has been released. Check this topic out for details.

Readme:
DSCreateKey / DSCheckSignatures
===============================
Copyright (c) 2007 Bohemia Interactive a.s. All rights reserved.

For more information about ArmA digital signatures system please visit http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arme ... Signatures

This tool is released for addon makers in order to allow them to generate their own digital signatures (private and public keys) to be used for signing data packages for ArmA.

DSCreateKey
===========

Usage: DSCreateKey <authorityname>

It will generate private and public keys (authorityname.biprivatekey authorityname.bikey ).

Authority name is the name of signing authority, usually the author of addons to be signed. Using TAG is recommended practice. The name itself serves only to identify the group.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to protect your private key well. Only public keys can be distributed with your content to public.


DSCheckSignatures
=================

Usage: DSCheckSignatures <checked> <keys>

The utility will verify if all files in the given directory are signed by one of keys from the keys directory.
You can download the utils here directly DSUtils.zip - 56kb.
