E V E N T4th Hacker‘s Contest32,728 Euro or 40,000 US-$ “real” money for cracking of an application, protected by Code-Meter! This attractive amount of money will be received by the first person, who can executethe complete application without a CodeMeter Stick attached.What is unique about thisHacker’s Contest?Kügler: We take on the international hacker community forforth time. But this time, everything is different. For the firstthree challenges we shipped a protected software applicationwithout the suitable protection hardware. This time thehacker also receives the suitable CmStick.What were the results of the past threecontests?Kügler: Not one of over 1,000 hackers could bypass theprotection. So far, these challenges are unique in our industry.Our competitors always complained our contest wasnot realistic because the hacker didn’t receive the suitablehardware. But besides this criticism, not one of the competitorstried to imitate us. And this time, the hacker also receivesa suitable CmStick.What is the advantage of a hardwareprotection?Kügler: Since 1989 WIBU-SYSTEMS delivers secure solutionsto protect software against piracy. The user receivesa so-named dongle, which is “married” with the protectedsoftware. The software can be freely copied, but runs onlyif the suitable dongle is plugged into the user’s computer.Security backups are no problem. The user has additionallythe advantage of license portability (he or she can move thesoftware immediately from one computer to another).What is distinctive at CodeMeter?Kügler: A classic dongle has two drawbacks: The user needsa separate dongle for each software product and this donglemust be sent to the user. We have solved both problemswith the CodeMeter technology. The user needs only oneCmStick and can activate many licenses from many differentsoftware providers – online, 24x7. And as with shareware, aCodeMeter-protected application can be tested before thebuy, but the test interval – for example 30 days – is validatedby the internal clock on each CmStick.How flexible are your license models?Kügler: So far we can adapt any exotic license model toCodeMeter. Beyond time-limited licenses we can supplypay-per-use, downgrade, network or single-licenses butalso variants like “if you are student, you get the softwarecheaper” model.CodeMeter – The most secure protection system!Smart Card Chip for hardware encryption withAES 128-bit and ECC 224-bit.Encrypted Communication.Locking features with crack detection.Polymorphic Encryption (changing keys at runtime)Interview with Rüdiger Kügler,Director of salesAnti-Debug and Obfuscator mechanisms.Private Key for each vendor.Multiple times Finalist in the category “Best DRMSolution“ at SIIA Codie Awards.ImprintKEYnote13th edition, spring 2007Publisher:WIBU-SYSTEMS AGRueppurrer Strasse 52-5476137 Karlsruhe, GermanyTel. +49-721-93172-0Fax +49-721-93172-22info@wibu.comwww.wibu.comResponsible for thecontents:Oliver WinzenriedEditors:Rüdiger KüglerIris MelcherJürgen OckertRainer OpitzWolfgang VölkerOliver WinzenriedDesign and ProductionManuel KünstlerGunnar PetersohnLetters are welcome at anytime.
