The ZEMAX Optical Design Program is a comprehensive software tool for optical design. ZEMAX integrates all the features required to conceptualize con·cep·tu·al·ize v. con·cep·tu·al·ized, con·cep·tu·al·iz·ing, con·cep·tu·al·iz·es v.tr. To form a concept or concepts of, and especially to interpret in a conceptual way: , design, optimize, analyze, tolerance, and document virtually any optical system. In preparing to upgrade their software security, ZEMAX had an extensive list of features they sought in a replacement key. In addition to the highest level of security, ZEMAX sought intuitive APIs to speed the implementation process. They found many of these desired elements were already incorporated in SafeNet's Sentinel Hardware Key. "ZEMAX has been using hardware keys to protect their applications since 1993," said Ken Moore Ken Moore (January 4, 1940 — March 23, 1998) was an English cricketer.

"Our legacy technology was great in its day, but time chips away at the security of every technology. The new Sentinel Hardware Keys are a big leap forward and the right product for us. There are benefits I hadn't anticipated. The documentation is excellent and we were able to integrate and get it set up rather quickly. I estimate it took about one-third the amount of time to implement Sentinel Hardware Keys as it took to implement our previous solution. This is primarily because the new Sentinel Toolkit generates superb header files and function templates that integrated readily into our source code." Sentinel Hardware Keys provide the strong security ZEMAX required. Both public key cryptography An encryption method that uses a two-part key: a public key and a private key. To send an encrypted message to someone, you use the recipient's public key, which can be sent to you via regular e-mail or made available on any public Web site or venue. and 128-bit AES encryption are used to secure communications between the key and the protected application, effectively stopping middle layer attacks. Sentinel Business Layer APIs also typically reduce the programming time required to secure a new application by up to 60% or more compared to other hardware key solutions. With Sentinel Business Layer APIs, software vendors can obtain the highest level of security and control over sophisticated license designs without spending time "Spending Time" is the first single released by Christian artist Stellar Kart. The lyrics describe the band members desire to spend "more time with God". "Sometimes it’s a real struggle to spend time with God. on lower level programming. "We're delighted to have been selected by ZEMAX since they have a high level of expertise with hardware keys," said Ken Chow, general manager, Software Protection Business Unit. SafeNet, Inc.
