UAFX OfflineEngineering Security – General
OfflineUAFX Descriptor Digital Signature Descriptor is signed using a digital signature specified in OPC 10000‑83 using one of the signing algorithms defined by the UAFX Offline Security Policies. When signing using an RSA algorithm, the PSS padding algorithm should be used whenever possible, e.g. UAFX Offline CertificateSignatureAlgorithm_ RSASAA_PSS-SHA2-256.
OfflineUAFX Tool Export Digital SignatureSupports exporting a compliant Descriptor.
OfflineUAFX Tool Import Digital SignatureSupports importing any compliant Descriptor. All digital signatures in an imported Descriptor are validated as specified in OPC 10000‑83 using the signing algorithms defined in the UAFX Offline Security Policies.
OfflineUAFX Tool LoggingSupports error message logging and display when invalid digital signatures are imported.
