GIMZIP package signing is implemented using public/private key technology (aka, 
PKI); a private key is used to generate a digital signature for package files, 
and the corresponding public key is used to verify the signatures. The key pair 
is associated with an X.509 certificate and SMP/E uses this certificate, and 
its associated key pair, for the signing and signature verification operations.
