VALIDATION PACK

IQ and OQ protocol for the Kionel offline package 1.0.4

Print this page, or save it as PDF, to get a protocol with space for results and signatures. It supports your validation and does not replace it: the intended use, the risk decisions and the approval remain with your quality unit.

1. Scope

ProductKionel offline package (sending PC; also receiving computer with a webcam)
Version1.0.4, released 2026-09-25
Filekionel-offline-1.0.4.html
SHA-2568105241ed08cbd6371403ab65374059a804725190a52ffd794cd847ed4b02416
Built fromcommit a5bc502
BrowserChrome or Edge 137 or later, Windows 10 or 11
Receiving phonesUse kionel.com, which is updated continuously. For a fixed receiver, use the same offline package on a computer with a webcam. Record the build shown at the bottom of the page in every OQ result.

2. Suggested classification and risk

A standard product used as supplied, with options a user switches on or off but no configuration or code of your own. We suggest assessing it as GAMP 5 Category 3 (non-configured product). Its job is to move a file from an isolated PC and leave signed evidence of what moved, which is where EU GMP Annex 11 (2011) §5 applies: systems exchanging data with other systems should include appropriate built-in checks for the correct and secure entry and processing of data.

What it does not do is as important for the risk assessment: it does not scan file content for malware, does not identify people (it signs with device keys), and uses device clocks unless trusted timestamps are switched on. The full list is on kionel.com/limits.html.

3. User requirements and traceability

IDRequirementVerified by
URS-01Runs on the isolated PC from a single file, with no installation, network access or administrator rights.IQ
URS-02The installed file can be identified by version and checked against a published SHA-256; it does not change itself.IQ
URS-03File content is encrypted before it is shown, so that only the intended receiving device can open it.OQ-01
URS-04A transfer cannot be opened with a wrong code.OQ-02
URS-05The received file is identical to the sent file; a different or incomplete file is not accepted.OQ-01, OQ-03, OQ-06, OQ-13
URS-06The sending device signs a record of the file's SHA-256, size, work order, classification and target system.OQ-01, OQ-04
URS-07The receiving device signs a delivery receipt that includes the sender's record.OQ-01
URS-08Records can be verified independently of Kionel, and any change to them is detected.OQ-05, OQ-06
URS-09A human-readable report of each record can be printed or saved as PDF.OQ-04
URS-10Business functions are available only with a valid licence; records stay verifiable after a licence ends.OQ-07
URS-11Every user action ends with a visible success or failure message.OQ-01, OQ-02, OQ-07, OQ-11
URS-12An unsupported browser is reported clearly before any transfer is attempted.OQ-12
URS-13Optionally, received files and receipts are written to a chosen folder without overwriting existing files.OQ-09
URS-14Optionally, receipts carry an independent trusted timestamp; its failure never blocks a delivery.OQ-10
URS-15A signed record can be made for a file without transferring it (seal).OQ-08
URS-16Loaded files and licences can be removed, and codes shown on screen can be hidden.OQ-07, OQ-11
URS-17Users are warned about flashing images before the first transfer.OQ-12
URS-18Several files can be sent as one transfer, with a signed list of each file's SHA-256.OQ-13

5. Operational qualification (OQ)

Use a non-production file for each test. Record the build shown at the bottom of each device's page, attach screenshots or printed reports as evidence, and mark each test Pass or Fail.

OQ-01 · Send a result file with a typed code

Requirements: URS-03, URS-05, URS-06, URS-07, URS-11

  1. On the receiver choose Receive → Show a code.
  2. On the PC choose a small CSV result file, enter work order OQ-01, type the code, press Send with this code.
  3. Point the receiver's camera at the PC screen until the file arrives.
  4. Compute the SHA-256 of the source file on the PC and of the received file.

Expected: The receiver shows “received and verified”. Both SHA-256 values are identical. The receipt names OQ-01.

6. Vendor testing of this version

Before a version is published, its code passes automated tests: 381 unit tests, and end-to-end tests that drive the real application in a browser, including the offline package opened from disk. The end-to-end scripts are kept in the source repository under tools/e2e/ and can be shown under a confidentiality agreement.

Offline packageThe package opened from disk: licence, sending, no outside connection even if a script is injected7
Package acceptanceA real browser download from kionel.com checked by SHA-256, then used as sender and as two receivers (recording and live camera); receipt checked by the offline verifier12
Old browserThe message on browsers without the required cryptography4
Several filesTwo files sent as one ZIP; contents and manifest checked with an independent ZIP reader8

Cryptographic protocols are also checked formally with ProVerif; the models are published at kionel.com/formal.

7. Change control

A published version is never changed. A new version is a new file with its own name and SHA-256, listed on the download page with the commit it was built from; earlier versions stay downloadable so a validated installation can be re-checked or restored. What changed is in the changelog. Assess each new version under your own change control before replacing a validated one.
