SECTION 325:85-15-21. Write once (non-writable) program storage  


Latest version.
  •   For Program Storage Devices that are written to once (i.e., EPROM, CD), the following requirements shall be met:
    (1)   CD-ROM specific based Program Storage Devices shall:
    (A)   Not be a re-writeable disk; and
    (B)   The "Session" shall be closed to prevent any further writing.
    (2)   Non-EPROM specific (including CD-ROM) Program Storage Devices shall meet the following requirements:
    (A)   The control program shall authenticate all critical files by employing a Hashing Algorithm which produces a 'Message Digest' output of at least 128 bits at minimum, as certified by the Independent Testing Laboratory. The Message Digest(s) shall be stored on a memory device (ROM-based or other medium) within the Player Terminal. Message Digests which reside on any other medium shall be encrypted, using a public/private key Algorithm with a minimum of a 512 bit key.
    (B)   The Player Terminal shall authenticate all critical files against the stored Message Digest(s), as required in (i), above. In the event of a failed authentication after the game has been powered up, the Player Terminal should immediately enter an error condition with the appropriate tower light signal and record the details including time and date of the error in a log. This error shall require operator intervention to clear. The game shall display specific error information and shall not clear until either the file authenticates properly, following the operator intervention, or the medium is replaced or corrected, and the device's memory is cleared, the game is restarted, and all files authenticate correctly.
