Content Integrity Descriptor

Content Integrity Descriptor is a mechanism for ensuring the integrity of specific information within content. Various types of Content Integrity Descriptor can be defined. Each Content Integrity Descriptor has a method for identifying the location of the target information, a method for obtaining the information, and a method for verifying the integrity of that information. You can use different types depending on the information you want to ensure the integrity of, or define new ones.

Registration Process​

When creating a new Content Integrity Descriptor, you MUST define at least the following:

  • Type name
  • Property definitions
  • The method to apply it to HTML
  • Validation Process
  • The method to identify element location

In addition, to avoid type name collisions, the defined Content Integrity Descriptor MUST be registered in the Content Integrity Type Registry.
