The security highlights provided by CodeMeter Security for VxWorks consist mainly of:
- Internal Certification Authority: the CA produces, signs, and manages the required certificates necessary to enable the Secure Boot process, and in turn protect applications from tampering
- Secure Boot: a functionality that relies on UEFI specifications and help prevent malicious software applications from loading during the system start-up process, thanks to a digital certificate-based chain of trust
- Secure Runtime Loader: the essential core for integrity and know-how protection from piracy and reverse-engineering is built on a combination of AES decryption and digital signature verification of kernel modules and real-time processes
- Unparalleled range of different form factors for secure license carriers: software licenses and software encryption keys can be stored in the complete range of CmDongles and CmActLicenses; all hardware form factors embed smart card technology for top security performance
