Purpose
Details


Applies to:

Sun Ray Hardware - Version Sun Ray 2 to SROS 11.0.1 [Release 1.0 to 11.0]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

A Reference document outlining the measures for Sun Ray Operating Software security verification. 

Details

The Sun Ray Operating Software is cryptographically signed by the Oracle engineering group at release using a defined set of DSA keys for security verification and quality assurance.  

The digitial signatures are verified multiple times in a production Sun Ray Environment.   Existing Sun Ray Operating Software (or Sun Ray Firmware) will refuse to download and write to the local flash resource any Sun Ray Operating Software package that is not correctly signed.   Additionally, the boot sector will refuse to load and run any Sun Ray Operating Software that is not signed with a valid key.
