When you go to submit a badge flight,the worksheet wants to know
that you checked file security using "proper software".
What would be considered proper software?
When I view the .igc file in See you under file integrity
it tells me "not checked yet".
I have the latest version of See you also.
Hopefully there is a free download I can use to
check file security.
Thanks, Joe

IGC Shell is free, http://www.fai.org/gnss-recording-devices/igc-approved-flight-recorders, click at the bottom, "Free software for IGC-approved GNSS flight recorders", then "FR Manufacturer DLL files for use with IGC Shell program for Validation of IGC files & downloading from FRs", then "IGC Shell program download". Also can download some flight recorders.
There is also an online checker, but it may not be IGC-blessed, at http://vali.fai-civl.org/validation.html.

Hi Joe,
A little more detail here. Each manufacturer is required to supply a proprietary security algorithm that will validate the electronic signature of a log file. Most manufacturers supply a standalone utility (downloadable from their Website) to check security. It will be something like VALIABC.EXE where ABC is the manufacturer. In addition, manufacturers need to supply an IGC-compliant DLL (dynamic link library - basically a program snippet) that can be called by another program such as the IGC Shell application mentioned above. Some of these DLLs are incorporated into SeeYou. Some aren't.
If you'd like to send me a personal reply with the FR manufacturer, I can try to help you find the easiest way to validate.

Hi Joe,
The IGC Shell program is a great way to go. However, SeeYou uses the same
DLL files to check flight logs. It is very easy to use when you know how.
While you have a flight log open in SeeYou - go to the statistics screen and
right click in the region where it says "not checked yet" then select
"Validate" from the pop-up menu. It will show "OK" if the flight log passes
the security check. The right-click actually works in any flight log
screen. SeeYou automatically installs the DLL's for most flight recorders.
If it is missing the DLL for your recorder you can copy the DLL to the
SeeYou directory.
Best Regards,

Unfortunately CIVL validator does not work with any IGC-certified FR
except EW and Flarms.

The advice given by Paul and Tim is good. That's easy.
Just tried on SeeYou versions 5.43 and 4.13. Validation is not available on 4.13.
