1. Introduction

This document provides a guideline on operating and configuringCastles VEGA3000

terminal.

The scope of this document includesetting up the terminal, basic operation, application

life cycle, and some advance features.

1.1. Type of Terminal

VEGA3000 terminal is portable type can be battery operated.

Portable type is designed as two pieces of hardware, handset and base unit.

Handset unit features major components, and also optional contactless reader,

WiFi, GRPS modem. Wired connection like power, modem, Ethernet, USB or

serial ports, are be located in base unit. There are additional power connection

and USB port on handset unit, allow the handset unit can be operated alone.

4. Secure File Loading

Castles implemented an interface in terminal named User Loader(ULD) to provide secure file

loading to system memory. Loading of user application, kernel firmware, font and others

must use User Loader.

The loading process is secure by signing the files using ULD Key System.

4.1. ULD Key System

The ULD Key System uses two key sets for securely managing the kernel

updating and application downloading. Each key set contains two RSA key pairs.

One is used for key encryption and the other is used for signature. These two key

sets are specified as below:

ULD Manufacturer Key Set

 ULD Manufacturer Key Encryption Key (RSA)

 ULD Manufacturer Signature Key (RSA)

ULD User Key Set

 ULD User Key Encryption Key (RSA)

 ULD User Signature Key (RSA)

For VEGA3000, the RSA key length is 2048bits.

4.1.1. ULD Manufacturer Key

The system consists of several kernel modules. These kernel modules

are provided by the Manufacturer, and released in CAP format file with

encryption and signing via ULD Manufacturer Keys.

The ULD Manufacturer keys are managed and maintained by the

manufacturer. The manufacturer uses these keys to generate kernel

CAP files for updating the system. However, the system is not permited

to be updated with these kernel CAP files directly generated by the

manufacturer. This is because only the user can have the privilege to

decide whether the system is to be updated. Therefore, before system

updating, the kernel CAP files must be “signed” via ULD User Key to get

the user permission. For simple expression, we call the kernel CAP files

generated by the manufacturer as “unsigned kernel CAP(s)” and call the

kernel CAP files “signed” by the user later as “signed kenel CAP(s)”.

Notes:

1. Tthe kernel modules are encrypted by a random-generated 3DES

key, which is retrieved from the Key Encryption Block of the CAP by

ULD Manufacturer Key Encryption Key, not directly encrypted by ULD

RSA Key.

2. The “sign” action via ULD User Keys actually is done by” the second

encryption”. “The second encryption” is done by using the random-

generated 3DES key, which is encrypted by ULD User Key Encryption

Key, to perform Triple DES encryption again on the cipher data segment

of the kernel CAP files. This ensures that the system cannot retrieve the

correct data from the kernel CAPs without the user permission.

4.1.2. ULD User Key

ULD User Key are used to encrypt and sign the user/shared

applications. In addition, they are as goalkeepers to prevent the system

updating without user permission. This is done by the kernel CAPs

which are encrypted and signed by the manufacturer having to perform

the “signed’ action via ULD User Keys.

Notes: Applications are encrypted by a random-generated 3DES key,

which is retrieved from the Key Encryption Block of the CAP by ULD

User Key Encryption Key, not directly encrypted by ULD RSA Key.

4.1.3. Key Change

The ULD RSA Keys are able to be changed. The system uses a special

CAP file, KEY CAP, for the manufacturer and user to change their own

keys. The KEY CAP contains a new set of ULD keys (Key Encryption

Key and Signature Key). These new keys are encrypted and signed via

the original keys. In other words, if the user would like to change the

ULD User Keys, they have to use their original ULD User Keys with the

new ULD User Keys to generate a KEY CAP.

4.2. File Signing

4.2.1. Signing Kernel Module

Castles will release new version of kernel module in “unsigned” form.

This files required to sign with ULD User Key before it can load to

terminal.

Castles Technology provideds a tool named “CAP Signing Tool” to

perform this task.

The CAP Signing Tool is located at:

C:\Program Files\Castles\VEGA3000\tools\Signing Tool

 Run CAP Signing Tool

(VEGA3000)

 Insert Key Card and select smart card reader

 Enter Key Card PIN

 CAP Signing Tool is ready, press “Select MCI File” button to browse

the file.

 Output file will be located in “signed” folder.

4.2.2. Signing User Files

Following files are required to sign before load to terminal. This is to

ensure the application data and codes confidential and integrity. The

output fille will be “CAP” file which is file format defined by Castles.

 User application

 User application data files

 User application library

 Font file

 Share library

 Share files

 System setting

 Key CAP (Manufacturer ULD Key Set)

Castles Technology provided a tool named “CAP Generator” to perform

this task.

The CAP Generator is located at:

C:\Program Files\Castles\VEGA3000\tools\CAPG (KeyCard)

 Run CAP Generator

 Insert Key Card and select smart card reader

 Enter Key Card PIN

 CAP Generator is ready, select the correct Type from the list.

4.3. File Loading

There are several ways of loading file to VEGA3000terminal.

 Download by User Loader

 Download by removable media

 Download by user application

 Download by Castles TMS

User Loader is a tool provided by Castles Technology. It’s the formal way to

download file to terminal.

User may implement their own ways of updating application or files using CTOS

API provided, CTOS_UpdateFromMMCI().

Castles TMS (CTMS or CASTLES Terminal Management System) is provided by

Castles Technology. It’s use to perform remote download via Ethernet,

GPRS/UMTS or modem.

 Run User Loader

 Select COM port

 Browse and select mci file or mmci file

 Setup terminal to enter download mode

 Press [0] button in Program Manager (PM)

 Press [1] button to select “1. Download AP“

 Press [1] button again to select download via RS232 or USB

4.3.2. Download by Removable Media

The file download process can be achieved without PC by using

removable media, USB flash drive or MicroSD memory card. We

recommend don’t put unwantedfile to removable media, as it will

increase the time during detection.

 Create a folder name “vxupdate” under root directory.

 Place the mci file and cap file to “vxupdate” folder.

Note: If user would like to load multiple application, create a new file

with extension of “mmci”. Then put the mmci file contents with the

list of mci file.
