Zusammenfassung:	A software module (SM) is traced from its origin as an abstract design created by a software vendor, through implementation of the abstract design into an executable SM by a software implementer, and up through delivery by the software vendor of the executable SM to a downloading device that will download the executable SM. Prior to downloading, a certification process is used to verify that the executable SM module fulfills the abstract design. Preferably, the certification process also includes an authentication process for authenticating the source of the abstract design.
