Currently Java is installed on 97% of enterprise desktops: this is an impressive rate that makes Java the number one choice for software developers. This exponential success is due not only to its development simplicity and fast execution, but mainly to the heterogeneous computing platforms supported, which results in its extreme portability. In a server environment, Java has no rival. Java application servers handle connections to the database on one side, and, often, connections to the Web client on the other.

All these factors, however, make Java a preferred target for hacking. In particular, reverse engineering is the primary source of attack. Unlike native applications, Java does not generate machine code, but rather an intermediate code, which is executed in a Java Runtime. This intermediate code is simple enough to be reconverted back to source code. Since existing copy protection and licensing mechanisms are quickly removable, implementation details and trade secrets become an easy prey for unauthorized third parties.

AxProtector Java protects and licenses desktop applications, application servers and Eclipse Plugins. Just like Java, AxProtector Java is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Linux, OS X and Android.

This presentation introduces some of the basic protection technologies for Java, and compares them to the superior qualities of AxProtector Java. Once the application is secure, licensing suffers from no risk either, and CodeMeter seamlessly provides a flexible licensing system as well.

During this hour together, we will specifically go through:

• An overview of protection technologies for Java applications
• AProtector Java fundamentals
• Options for AxProtetcor Java
• Protection at class and method levels
• A quick introduction to licensing Java applications

AxProtector Java is your guided protection system that will lead your way to prosperous licensing revenues for your Java application.

Few successful software applications don't use cryptographic methods as they protect code and data from predatory attacks.By analogy, applying cryptography is like driving a car. Just as you first have to learn what all the controls are for before you can go zipping down the interstate, first you must become familiar with basic cryptographic methods. And just like yesterday's trendy car is no longer in vogue today, obsolescence in security is accelerating.

There isn't much you can do to slow down technological evolution, but as a software developer, you can ensure that a primary responsibility is to use cryptography properly and safely.CodeMeter offers a wide range of cryptographic methods and harnesses Wibu-Systems' vast experience and knowledge. Nevertheless, even great technologies like CodeMeter may fail  if they have been implemented poorly or without the necessary safety precautions.

The presentation provides an overview of the available cryptographic methods in CodeMeter API.

An essential key point is the secure storage of private and secret keys; the first question you should ask yourself is where you should be storing your licenses. CmDongle, the hardware-based protection vessel, offers an impenetrable fortress. CmActLicense, the software-based container, is available with a unique and proprietary technology, SmartBind. The private and secret keys are stored in an encrypted license file whose key is the fingerprint of the specific PC to which the license file is bound.

How to operate encryption is your second important decision; that should depend on the kind of application you have developed and the threat scenario you are going to face in your business model.Finally, there are many cool facts: did you know that in Counter Mode (CTR), encryption with AES is really just about XOR? For example, consider a database field with a Boolean value. A simple encryption with AES returns exactly two possible encrypted values. This means that an attacker would actually be able to derive the unencrypted value for all records by knowing just one record

During this presentation, we will discuss:

• HASH functions
  • SHA 256
• Symmetric encryption
  • AES 128
  • Direct encryption in CmContainer
  • Indirect encryption
  • Encryption without CmContainer
  • Selection of the most appropriate operating mode
• Asymmetric encryption
  • ECC 224
  • RSA 2048

This is where our journey begins: we’ll show you practical examples about how to implement CodeMeter in ways that allow it to protect your software today and tomorrow.

One day you were particularly inspired and developed a unique software application.

Then you decided that, before promoting your new application, you should first protect it, and you chose CodeMeter from Wibu-Systems. That was a brilliant idea because with AxProtector you enjoy a fully automatic path to robust security in the blink of an eye.

Next, you planned the features of all the various license models you will be selling and CodeMeter License Central proved an exemplary choice to create and manage your licenses in a flexible fashion.But now? How do you reach the millions of potential customers around the globe and be sure you have a powerful system that takes care of the license deployment and simultaneously automate billings and renewals, and optimize your commerce operations 24/7?Ready to be part of the New Economy?

Invest in fostering your revenue growth. Do your homework once, and sell repeatedly through a secure, comprehensive, and convenient infrastructure.

The embedded device market is several times larger than the B2B software market; even though the adoption of commercial License Management solutions is significantly lower today, this segment is growing fast as software plays a growing role in embedded product.

Wibu-Systems’ CodeMeter® technology offers software publishers a seamless, scalable and most of all secure platform, providing the most stringent security protocols meant at safeguarding your IP and multiple licensing models that adapt to your distribution channels.

This webinar is loaded with new perspectives from Frost & Sullivan Industry Analysts on the security of embedded systems. As cyber-physical systems are introduced in manufacturing, security and safety become vulnerable under the cyber-attacks to embedded software, machines and plants. See through referenced success stories how Wibu-Systems CodeMeter® can safeguard intellectual property, reinvestments in research and development, and even jobs.

Software Monetization is the capability to effectively maximize your software revenue by meeting market demands. As such, it is the combination of entitlement management and piracy prevention. The entitlement management is the foundation upon which license management is built. It includes in fact the definition of software SKUs, the definition and the enforcement of license policies, backoffice functions, like license generation, tracking and transaction management, as well as usability functions, like the transfer or the upgrade of licenses, usage auditing and more.

This webinar is loaded with new perspectives from Frost & Sullivan Industry Analysts for the growth of your business. Software monetization is the key strategy to grow your top line revenues while controlling bottom line costs. The 3 S’s of Wibu-Systems unveiled: seamless, secure and scalable technology. Real business usages you can apply to increase the strength of your application and multiply licensing models.
