standardization process). It is trusted by many organizations and has a
proven track record.
It provides an impenetrable security check because the AES algorithm and
the 128-bit randomly generated secret key it uses are embedded in the Senti-
nel Key—not accessible to any debugging or memory dumping program.
You need to:
■
Call the SFNTEncrypt API function to send the plain data and have it
encrypted.
■
Call the SFNTDecrypt API function obtain the decrypted data. If the
decrypted data matches the plain data, the correct Sentinel Key is
assumed to be present.
It becomes impossible to replicate these results by skipping the Sentinel Key
because all the operations are performed in the hardware.
