In this paper, we have proposed a framework for verifying the authenticity and integrity of Windows Phone applications. Our framework consists of a XAP archive scanner, a certificate authority, and the Windows Phone marketplace. By implementing our framework, we can ensure that Windows Phone applications are verified and trusted, reducing the risk of malicious applications being installed on Windows Phone devices.
public bool VerifyXAPArchive(string filePath) // Check if the file exists if (!File.Exists(filePath)) throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found", filePath);
return true;
// Verify the signature var signature = new SignatureDescription(); signature.KeyAlgorithm = certificate.PublicKey.KeyAlgorithm; signature.DigestAlgorithm = "SHA256";
// Open the XAP archive using (var zipArchive = ZipFile.OpenRead(filePath)) // Get the manifest file var manifestFile = zipArchive.GetEntry("WMAppManifest.xml");
