The Pointsec PC CD-ROM case is sealed with three tamper-evident
Pointsec stickers. Verify the authenticity of the package by ensuring that
these stickers are unbroken and have not been tampered with in any way.
In this method of delivery, you download Pointsec PC directly from the
Internet as an e-package.
To access the Pointsec PC e-package, you must register for an account on
the Pointsec server site.
The server site is protected with a Pointsec certificate. You must accept
this certificate to access the site. Once logged in, you can see all the
e-packages you have purchased.
At the site, you enter a request for a user account and fill in the required
information. The account is registered and you receive an e-mail from
Pointsec containing the information you need to log in and download the
e-package. The e-mail also contains information on how to verify the
authenticity of the e-package.
Verifying the E-package
Your downloaded Pointsec e-package(s) each contain a ZIP file, containing
the Pointsec product and a text file, product_file_name.txt which
contains the information you need to verify that the package has not been
tampered with.
To do this, use the command line utility fsum.exe to compute the MD5
checksum for the ZIP file and compare it with the MD5-checksum in
product_file_name.txt . If the checksums match, you know that the
e-package has not been tampered with.
You can download fsum.exe for free from
To verify an e-package:
1. Copy fsum.exe , the downloaded ZIP file and product_file_name.txt
to a temporary folder and run the fsum.exe with the -c switch.
fsum.exe compares the checksum specified in product_file_name.txt
to the checksum it computes using the MD5 algorithm for the ZIP file.
If the checksum for the ZIP file matches the checksum in
product_file_name.txt , the ZIP file is marked
the e-package has not been tampered with.
Otherwise, the file is marked with the word
Contact in the Case of an Unsuccessful Delivery" on page 5
information if the verification fails.
2. Repeat the process for each Pointsec e-package that you have
purchased.
