<p> SHA-1 Verification </p><p>With the new direction using CF cards, and the future of the downloadable platform, (instead of using EPROM’s as the storage media) a new format was needed to secure and verify game programs. The SHA-1 was chosen for this function.</p><p>SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is used for computing a condensed representation of a message or a data file. When a message of any length is input, the SHA-1 produces a 160-bit output called a message digest. The message digest can then be used in a signature algorithm or alone to verify the signature for the message or data file.</p><p>Field Service will use SHA-1 as they have been using the Dataman or Kobatron schemes. All serve the same purpose; just SHA-1 is more secure. (A) GLI Verify Program</p><p>Technicians will be given a compact flash card reader and software (GLI version) to perform on-site verification of game software. </p><p>The goal is to use these resources to compare program generated SHA-1 message digest (A), to documented message digest such as par sheet(C). In addition; the software has the ability to document the test for future reference</p><p>(B).

Double Left click on the “GLI Verify 2.0 Setup” utility, to open the Install Wizard. 3. Follow on screen instructions to complete the installation. (Note: Place icon on your desktop for ease of use).
