----------------------------------
Summary: [GSoC] Digital Signed Zip Files
Key: CELIX-49
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CELIX-49
Project: Celix
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Pepijn Noltes
Assignee: Pepijn Noltes
Background:
Apache Celix (incubator) is an implementation of the OSGi specification adapted
to C. It will follow the API as close as possible, but since the OSGi
specification is written primarily for Java, there will be differences (Java is
OO, C is procedural). An important aspect of the implementation is
interoperability between Java and C. This interoperability is achieved by
porting and implementing the Remote Services specification in Celix.
Proposal:
Implement the Digital Signed Jar Files part of the core OSGI (4.3)
specification for Apache Celix adapted to C.
Part of the core OSGi specification (see [1]) describes how to handle signed
jar files, so that authentication of the signer is possible and ensure that the
bundle has not been tampered.
For Apache Celix we like to see a similar solution, but then adapted for C (So
for example Zips instead of Jars).
Needed knowledge:
C,Java & OSGi
