Software version state control method

Abstract

The invention discloses a software version state control method, and relates to the technical field of software and information security. The method comprises the following steps: for a given software document, on the one hand, generating a software version state, respectively computing a digital signature file by file, integrally storing the digital signature, the file attributes and a directory path as a derived attendant state file after derivation to represent the software version state, and preserving the an outline identity and an exception file; on the other hand, verifying the software version state, quoting the attendant state file, respectively verifying the digital signatures to identify the integrity consistency of the software document; pre-presenting the outline identity in the process to observer and judge whether to execute the verification, and automatically ignoring and not verifying the exception file; independently comparing the difference between different versions through the adoption of the state file, thereby obtaining a comparison report. A general method is provided by the invention, a derived attendant software state file is used for representing and verifying the version state of the software document, the derived attendant software state file can be used as the authentication credential about the business collaboration of development and research, evaluation, testing, supervision and publish, thereby achieving the aim of effectively controlling the software version.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software and information security. Background technique [0002] Software is the technical foundation of the information society and the core soul of smart devices. There are two main forms of software, namely source code and object code, including supporting technical documents, which can be attributed to the form of software documentation, which generally consists of a series of files and directories to form a tree structure. Due to error correction maintenance and upgrades, the software version will change accordingly, and the coexistence of multiple versions will easily lead to software confusion and misuse. Human tampering, computer virus attacks, etc., will also lead to substantial changes in the software version. Incorrect software version may cause functional failure, performance degradation and even security risks of software equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively manage and cont...

Problems solved by technology

This invention relies on a complex certificate system to verify the signature of the complete digest value of the software, ignoring the individual file distinction and exceptions of the software document, and manages it in a relatively closed network system, without considering network isolation and offline environment signature verification, which is not suitable As a general method for software version control
