3.3.8：ZPKG usage
1：What is zpkg?
zpkg is the secondary package of pkg file, on the basis of pkg file, package more information as a separate file, through this file, the developer can directly send zpkg file to the end-user by e-mail or other means, or programming manufacturers, in addition to the developer who packaged this file, other members will not be able to see any data in this file, to a certain extent, you can Meet the special needs.
Although zpkg can be useful in some specific scenarios, there are some limitations that require special attention, as summarized below.
- Because the file can be reloaded repeatedly: this means that the limit on the number of times the pkg file itself will be invalidated, and if you need to control the number of programmings, you will need to control the permissions with the icwkey device.
- Because passwords and data are packaged as a whole, which means there is a certain risk of being attacked, PowerWriter will try its best to prevent the zpkg file from being attacked, leading to leakage. Except for some special scenarios where the zpkg format must be used, most common scenarios still recommend the use of the zpkg file for security and privilege control.
- Please be strictly aware of the above defects and do not use this feature if you are not aware of them.
