Embodiment Construction

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for software security upgrade, because in the method, the upgrade package signature is verified by the device to be upgraded rather than by a third-party verification device, and the device to be upgraded pre-checks the upgrade package before running the upgrade package. The status of itself has been checked, so as to realize the safe upgrade of the software in the equipment to be upgraded more quickly. The embodiment of the present invention also provides a communication device and a communication system, which can also implement fast and safe software upgrades. The following describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embod...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for safely upgrading software. The method comprises the following step that: a to-be-upgraded server obtains an upgrading packet and a signature of the upgrading packet and to-be-upgraded equipment checks an own state; if the upgrading packet signature is checked, signature checking of the upgrading packet is passed, the to-be-upgraded equipment runs the obtained upgrading packet. The method can check the validity of the upgrading packet and the own state of the to-be-upgraded equipment, therefore, safety in a process of upgrading the software is improved; furthermore, a software upgrading procedure of the method is simple, a required networking approach is also simple; a upgrading process of the entire software only requires participation of the to-be-upgraded equipment and a server without third-party equipment.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method for software security upgrade, communication equipment and communication system. Background technique [0002] With the development of base station deployment to crowded places, base stations, especially small base stations, are facing more and more security threats. In order to deal with this threat to the security of the equipment itself, many devices require a certain degree of reliability in design. The Trusted Enviroment (TrE) module is used to verify the legitimacy of the equipment and its components and whether there are any abnormalities that have been attacked. The TrE module can provide a trustworthy environment, ensure the trusted execution of sensitive functions and guarantee storage Integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data. [0003] Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is the core module of TrE. TPM usually encapsulates several cryptographic functio...
