> [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
> Labels: gsoc, gsoc2013, mentor
>
> 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
