Integrated Digital Signature Verification: DigiVerify

When you export video from a DigiMux with Digital Signature, the exported file package includes a public key file

(.GPG), an encrypted audio video file (.AVI), and a signature file (.SIG) for later authentication.

DigiClient and DigiPlayer now include an integrated Digital Signature Verification feature called DigiVerify. You access

DigiVerify using the VIDEO icon on the main tool bar.

To use DigiVerify:

1. Click VIDEO, and select the DigiVerify tab to open the DigiVerify window.

2. Locate the appropriate public key, AVI, and signature file, then click VERIFY to authenticate the exported video.

The verification results display either “good signature” or “bad signature.”

Alarm List Deletion Behavior

During an alarm review session, if you choose to delete a single entry or a page of alarm entries, DigiMux marks the

entries as deleted and the text color changes. The actual deletion of alarmed video in the database is a background

operation, which occurs some time after the alarm review session.

Good signature Indicates that the exported video file came from a specific DigiMux unit and

was not altered.

Bad signature Either the video and the signature files did not come from the same DigiMux

unit, or the exported video was not in its original form.
