ABSTRACT:
A method for authenticating a software package, which is provided by a software supplier and which contains a software component that can be loaded into a terminal. The software component is provided with a first authentication suffix, which is verified in order to carry out an authenticity test in the terminal. A higher-level authenticating site is provided, performing authenticating measures on the software package to increase security, wherein the measures performed by the higher-level authenticating site include providing the software package with at least one second authentication suffix instead of the first authentication suffix after successful checking of the software package provided by the software provider and including the first authentication suffix in addition to the software component of the software package.
