WibuKey - A protection system |
||||
Since 1989, WibuKey has offered you a proven solution for software and digital content protection. It works to prevent the use of illegal copies of software and data files. WibuKey consists of encryption and driver software and a hardware component called the WibuBox. The principle of the protection is the encryption of the intellectual property. Queries and encryption are built into the software or data file to be protected. These access the WibuBox, which is connected to the computer. The WibuBox confirms the queries and implements the decryption of the encrypted program or data file. Without the WibuBox the protected software cannot be used and the protected data files cannot be read. This decryption cannot be replicated by a software process, because it relies on certain secrets which are built directly into the WibuBox. This way no more copies of the program than defined in the WibuBox hardware can be used. |
