Abstract
A method identifies and verifies control software of a rail vehicle. In the method, the control software is formed by functions, with each function fulfilling an associated task. As a networked collective, the functions form the structure of the control program. A function-dependent checksum is generated for each function. A structure-dependent checksum is generated for the structure. A total checksum is generated for the control software from the function-dependent checksums and the structure-dependent checksum. This total checksum identifies and verifies the control software for homologation in a country.

A method for identifying and verifying control software of a rail vehicle, wherein the control software is formed by functions, wherein each function of the functions performs a task respectively assigned thereto, in which the functions, in their interconnected entirety, form a structure of the control software, which comprises the steps of:
- creating a function-dependent checksum for each of the functions resulting in a plurality of function-dependent checksums;
- creating a structure-dependent checksum for the structure;
- and
- creating an overall checksum for the control software from the function-dependent checksums and from the structure-dependent checksum, wherein the overall checksum identifies and verifies the control software for authorization in a country.
