Protect and control software stored


It's been said for every measure, there's a countermeasure, and that's also true for securing code in embedded systems. Sometimes a small device can be just the countermeasure needed to thwart cloning of flash contents.

Industrial PC, Console server, gaming platform
Many systems use external standard flash memory chip(s) to store the operating program for processors that do not include embedded nonvolatile program storage. This is great because it allows easy flash memory expansion and software modification, perhaps in the manufacturing line as a customer download or during a maintenance operation. The downside is that the OEM loses control over the contents of the flash, potentially allowing unauthorized copies or modification.

Networking appliance, Console server, Industrial PC
 
Embedded world, the biggest and most important event of its kind, opens the series of high-tech exhibitions and knowledge-packed events at the Nürnberg venue from 26–28 February 2013. This event sets standards and records every year – now for the eleventh time in 2013. Exhibitors from all over the world present the entire spectrum of embedded systems: hardware, software, tools and services. The specialists can also look forward once again to figures such as Prof. Nicholas McGuire or Dr. David Kalinsky, who have given the embedded world Conference a face, weight, spirit and know-how at a high professional standard for years. The electronic displays Conference is every bit as good. Stuart McClure, President and CEO of Cylance, opens embedded world on the first day with his keynote on “Safety and Security”.
