HASP HL.Aladdin Knowledge Systems Aladdin Knowledge Systems NASDAQ: ALDN is a company that provides solutions for software digital rights management and Internet security since 1985. Its corporate headquarters are located in Tel Aviv, Israel. , Ltd. has announced general availability of HASP (Houston Automatic Spooling Program) A mainframe spooling program that provides task, job and data management functions. HASP - Houston Automatic Spooling Program HL, claimed to be the most innovative and secure software/intehectual property protection and licensing key available today. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the IDC/BSA 2003 piracy study, nearly $29 billion annually is lost to software piracy The illegal copying of software for distribution within the organization, or to friends, clubs and other groups, or for duplication and resale. The software industry loses billions of dollars each year to piracy, and although it may seem innocent enough to install an application on a worldwide. With the rapid adoption end use of broadband connectivity, peer-to-peer sharing See peer-to-peer network. and CD burners, protecting software revenues and intellectual property is more critical than ever. HASP HL technology helps software publishers and developers reduce piracy, protect revenues and reinvent the relationship between software protection and licensing. The implementation of software protection has historically been tied to licensing; every time software's licensing model was changed, the security would have to change also. HASP HLbreaks that paradigm with a 'Protect Once-Deliver Many" model. Implementation of software protection is performed only once, while all licensing models can be implemented or changed without affecting the product's security. New Features claimed for HASP HL * Protection and licensing separated--Separation of the tasks performed by product managers (licensing) and developers (protection), with intuitive processes. * Automatic tools--Automatic capabilities provide software publishers with immediate access to high-level security features * Tutorial tools-Short learning curve for developers; Automatic generation of HASP HL code * Universal and cross-platform API-The API is independent of both the HASP HL model and the platform running the protected application. * License generator-Tool for defining licenses, terms and extensions, providing product managers with a means to address new market opportunities. Security * AES--State-of-the-art security with the public AES algorithm * 128-bit key--Data and string encryption is done with a 128-bit encryption key securely stored inside the HASP BL. * On-board encryption--Encryption key never leaves the hardware key. * RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. signatures--Update packages for remotely extending licenses in the field are digitally signed Any message or key that has been encrypted with a digital signature. When a user's public key is digitally signed by a certification authority (CA), it is known as a digital certificate or digital ID. See digital signature and digital certificate. with RSA. * Anti-hacking--Innovative wrapping technology with multi-layer security protects the seam between the original application and the protection code against attacks. Features anti-debug, gang and anti-reverse engineering. * File encryption--Automatic file encryption prevents hackers from attacking the protected file with a disassembler Software that converts machine language back into assembly language. Since there is no way to easily determine the human thinking behind the logic of the instructions, the resulting assembly language routines and variables are named and numbered generically (A001, A002, etc.). and changing the protection implementation, www.eAladdin.com |
