Sentinel Keys Offer Sophisticated Protection
This section provides a summary of the main features of Sentinel Keys SDK,
which make it the most reliable and chosen solution to protect your intellec-
tual property and copyrights.
Hardware Key with Cutting-edge Security Technology
Sentinel Keys use the cutting-edge technology for superior security. Here are
the major highlights of the hardware key:
■
Contains the ECC algorithm for digital signing and verification,
providing
data authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-
repudiation .
■ Contains the 128-bit AES algorithm for block encryption/decryption
and query-response protection.
■ Provides secure communication using the Secure Communication
Tunnel. The tunnel is an
end-to-end secured session between the client
and the Sentinel Key. The communication packets are encrypted
using the AES algorithm, for which the session key is generated using
ECC-based key exchange (ECKAS-DH1).
■
Allows random generation of ECC and AES keys. Unlimited number of
keys can be generated.
■
Uses chip-on-board (COB) technology for better performance, high
reliability, and greater protection against reverse engineering.
■
Uses mirroring and self-correction for higher reliability against
memory corruption.
■
Has the in-built capability to write-once in the field. It means that
ignoring the access rights, the data can be modified at run-time only
once. Hence, it prevents unauthorized revisions of the data contained
in the Sentinel Key.
■
Supports universal binaries for compatibility with PowerPC and Intel-
based Macintosh systems.
