UniKey Hardware

How does UniKey hardware key differ from other keys?

Secure Communications
UniKey Hardware Keys are the most secure HID hardware key available in the world. A unique encryption key is used for every communication session between the application and the hardware hardware key, making brute force attacks virtually impossible. UniKey hardware keys include internal authentication, which effectively prevents cloning of the keys.

Quickly Add Protection - UniKey Enveloper
With the UniKey Enveloper, you can enhance overall security by adding multiple layers to thwart hacking attempts, preventing memory dumping and protecting against debuggers. The UniKey Enveloper enables you to embed licensing and protect your application in minutes, even if don't have access to source code. The UniKey Enveloper offers a way to quickly add protection and obfuscation to your application without requiring any alteration to the source code.

Speed Implementation - UniKey APIs
The best implementation of any protection scheme should include complete integration into your application through APIs. By using UniKey APIs, you can obtain the highest level of security and control over sophisticated license designs without spending time on lower level programming. UniKey APIs are pre-configured, higher level APIs for popular license models such as subscription, evaluation and pay-per-use. The UniKey API lets you customize your protection and insert calls to your protection keys throughout your application source code.

Real Time Clock (RTC) Hardware Key – UniKey Time
The on-board clock allows you to reliably and securely offer time-based license models such as trial, demo or subscription. A clock is stored inside the hardware key, offering a non-repudiated time source and the highest level of protection against time tampering.

With UniKey Time Keys , you can meet your customers' needs for flexible time-based licensing while protecting your revenue streams. UniKey Time hardware Key  also allows end users to place timestamps (hours, minutes, seconds) and date (day, month, year) on the output of an application for definitive time recording purposes.

License Across Networks
The network version of UniKey Hardware Keys protects client-server applications and provides server monitoring to track and manage license usage on the network.

Protect Multiple Applications
UniKey Hardware Keys allow you to protect multiple applications with a single hardware key. You can also add protection for additional applications at a later date without altering the existing security structure.

Multiple Development Environments and Platforms
UniKey provides you with the ability to protect applications created in numerous development environments. Sample code for the most popular environments is  also provided, such as Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft .NET to get you started on custom applications. With UniKey you can support  your application on multiple operating platforms with a single development effort, further reducing development time and cost.

Simplify Updates and Activation
UniKey APIs also include Logical Addressing which allows developers to add or change implementations without being concerned about specific memory address usage. This greatly speeds development time as well as reducing risk of error from overwriting information in memory cells.

With UniKey Hardware Keys, you can also program multiple keys at once and customize license models at the production stage. License configuration can be altered without requiring further development changes.

Flexibility to update UniKey hardware keys remotely: A powerful Remote Update System sends encrypted and RSA digitally-signed license terms to users — ensuring secure updates of keys and licenses in the field.
