Uniquely Matched Hardware Keys
You typically require one developer key to use the Toolkit.
No configuration/programming is required to use the developer key.
The USB device can be plugged-in and is ready for use as soon as it is
detected by the system.

You will not be able to build (prototype) the protection strategy in the
Toolkit, unless the developer key is plugged-in.
If your developer key supports password authentication and if you
have enabled the authentication (refer Question 7), the Toolkit allows
you to perform the key-dependent operations (refer Question 11) only
after specifying the correct password.
Password-protected Developer Key
A developer key for which access has been restricted using a password is
called a password-protected developer key. A password is defined by the developer
who owns the developer key. The password length can vary from 8 to
16 alphanumeric characters.
