S63.RootKey Property
Gets the IHO S-63 Scheme Administrator root key.
Syntax
public System.String RootKey { get; }Property Value
The IHO S-63 Scheme Administrator root key.
Remarks
This property holds the public key of the S-63 Scheme Administrator, i.e. the International Hydrological Office, IHO. This public key and the corresponding certificate is the root of trust for the entire S-63 protection scheme.
When an S-63 database if first created with Create, the key current at the time of the Carmenta Engine release is installed in the database. The IHO may at a later time cancel this key and replace it with a new one. If this happens, the ImportRootKey method can be used to install the new key into the database.
The application should provide a way for the end user to display the currently installed root key, so that he can compare it to the current IHO key. The current IHO key is published on the IHO web site, at https://iho.int/uploads/user/Services%20and%20Standards/ENC_ECDIS/data_protection/S-63_SA_Certificate_Exp_2033.zip.
