Identifying file and certificate reputations

Prev Next

You can identify the reputation of the file or the certificate to be imported by its hash values.

File reputations

For each file, include its known hash values (SHA-1, SHA-256, and MD5) in hexadecimal encoding. At least one hash value is required for each file. Include the file name to identify it in reports.

Note

File name and comment are optional but we recommend to having them.

Example of importing a file

When you import a file, you can add a comment field to the XML file to describe the file or certificate to import. The <Comment> includes an appropriate comment to identify it on the reports.

Certificate reputations

For each certificate, include its SHA-1 hash and Public Key SHA-1 values in hexadecimal encoding. Include the certificate name to identify it in reports.

Note

Files can have SHA-1, SHA-256, and MD5 hash values (minimum, one required) while the certificates can have SHA-1 hash and Public Key SHA-1 (both required).
