Preconditions
Please read the document "Governikus DATA Boreum System Requirements" before installation. Here the requirements for the installation are explained. In addition, documents are available to inform you which signature cards and smart card readers are supported. The manuals of Governikus DATA Boreum can be found in the Portal of Governikus KG.
Validating software integrity
The sign and validate functions are functions that are critical with respect to security. We recommend validating the software integrity prior to installation to avoid installing manipulated software. The integrity check is done by hash-value comparison. The Governikus KG offers the hash-value (algorithm SHA-256) on its Portal in the respective product area.
Please check whether the documentation at hand corresponds with the software version. Every document has the software's release number on the first page. Compare this number to the release number in the name of the installation file or after installation via the information dialog window "About Governikus DATA Boreum", see chapter 6.1.
