US 2013/0159719 A1 · APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SIGNING APPLICATION

Abstract

When a signature apparatus cooperating with a market server receives signature request information for an optional application from the market server to sign an application, the signature apparatus determines whether an authentication note has been issued corresponding to application identification information included in the signature request information based on the application identification information. When the authentication note has not been issued; the signature apparatus issues the authentication note using the application identification information, generates signature information for the to application using the application identification information, and signs the application including the authentication note and the signature information.

An apparatus for signing an application cooperating with a market server and providing the signed application to a terminal cooperating with the market sever, the apparatus comprising:

an authentication generating unit determining whether an authentication note is issued based on an application identifier of an optional application received from the market server in response to a request of signature for the optional application, and generating the authentication note with a first key, wherein the first key and a second key is generated using the application identifier;
an authentication note storage unit storing the authentication note generated by the authentication note, the second key generated using the application identifier, and the application identifier;
and
an application signature unit encrypting a hash value generated by hashing an application code of the application using a hash function with the second key generated by the authentication note generating unit to generate signature information, and inserting the generated authentication note and the signature information into the application code to sign the application.
