April 2, 2014 - Wibu-Systems announces Protection Suite, which includes CodeMeter encryption and licensing tool that enables manufacturers to quickly and easily protect their ready-made software and their know-how against piracy and reverse engineering, and safeguard their equipment from tampering or cyber-attacks. Protection Suite also includes the automatic AxProtector encryption tool for software applications, and ExProtector encryption tool specially designed for embedded operating systems. AxProtector features a graphical user interface for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, .NET or Java.
It uses different protection techniques for native codes, such as C, C++, Delphi, and managed code using Bytecode, like Java and .NET. For native code, manufacturers can integrate CodeMeter directly in the source code and encrypt single functions individually using IxProtector. In case of Java and .NET it becomes even easier, as the developer doesn’t need to take care of code decryption himself.
All AxProtector variants have one element in common: protected programs are processed into something similar to a self-extracting archive, which is then loaded without any modification of the operating system. ExProtector integrates instead directly into the loading mechanism of the operating system, offering a signature validation check before loading and executing any protected program. ExProtector is available for Android, VxWorks and QNX.
