 In some
situations, whether to provide internal audit and
benchmarks or to protect against external damage,
an extra measure of assurance is needed and
mission-critical components that are put into
escrow must be tested, validated or verified.
Deposit verification gives both Parties assurance
that the escrow Deposit Materials are complete,
virus- and defect-free and fully functional per
the testing specifications.
Upon request
and for an additional fee, Guard-IT will oversee
the complete technical verification process --
performed by certified software engineers -- and
provide written reports and authentication to all
Parties to the escrow agreement.
Verification
Overview
Guard-IT accepts
products on CD-ROM, DVD, tape cartridge, floppy
diskette or by Guard-IT's exclusive
1024-bit-encrypted FTP.
Level 1 or
“Fingerprint” All files are
checked for readability and scanned for viruses.
Based on the product's "packing list"
(Exhibit B), all files are identified, verified
and given a unique MD5-Checksum ID for internal
benchmarking or comparison to subsequent deposit
updates. Independent, written verification of the
inventory is reported to all Parties.
Level 2,
Recompiling the Code This level takes
the source code, tools and associated make files
and ensures that the Deposit Materials can be
rebuilt or recompiled into an executable program.
This includes all Level 1 verification and
acceptance procedures.
