CodeMeter powers up VxWorks

Share:

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming production facilities into smart factories, utilities into smart grids, constructions into smart buildings. As the industrial IoT is gradually becoming all-pervasive on a global scale and tags, sensors, embedded computers, and control systems are interconnected over the Internet, the risk of hacker attacks is increasing.

Wibu-Systems has intensified its successful cooperation with Wind River® to offer a deep integration of CodeMeter® into  VxWorks®, the world’s most widely deployed commercial RTOS.

The result is a fully scalable solution that features best-of-breed security for devices and data, IP protection, and additional licensing management options to expand business opportunities.

Together, Wibu-Systems and Wind River offer a comprehensive turnkey solution that encompasses the following benefits: 

  • Integrity Protection
  • Authenticity
  • IP Protection
  • Certificates  
  • Copy Protection
  • License and Entitlement Management
  • Hardware-, Software-, and Cloud-based Key Storage

The security highlights provided by CodeMeter consist mainly of:

  • Deep integration in VxWorks 6.x: The CodeMeter technology is integrated into the VxWorks Workbench for a seamless use of the encryption mechanisms. The decryption module ExEngine is integrated into the loader process of VxWorks and enables the user to build secure boot processes and load protected and signed modules.
  • 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 (DKM) and real-time processes (RTP).
  • An unparalleled range of form factors for secure license containers: Software licenses and software encryption keys can be stored in the complete range of CmDongles and CmActLicenses; all hardware form factors come with smart card technology embedded for top security performance.
