Method for secure software release distribution with checksum verification
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921902B2) outlines a method and system for software release distribution. The method involves receiving a request to initiate a distribution transaction session from a distributor device, generating a software release bundle based on specified files, securing the bundle, and transmitting it to a node device based on distribution parameters. The system includes processors and memory storing instructions to facilitate the distribution process. The method also includes verifying the successful transmission of the secured bundle to authorize the transfer of files to the node device's memory.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as retransmission of the secured bundle in case of checksum mismatches, generating checksums for files, attaching a signature to the bundle, and replacing files based on input from the distributor device. The system is designed to track permission levels of release content and generate release bundle information including file metadata. The secured bundle is described as immutable, ensuring the integrity of the distribution process. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for efficient and secure software release distribution, enhancing the management and transfer of software files between distributor and node devices.
