Guardant Sign Flash

Guardant software and hardware tools, development of the Russian company "Aktiv", support all relevant technologies of protection and licensing of the software: enciphering, the EDS, hardware protection of the exchange protocol, loading and code execution in a key, real time clock, work without installation of drivers. All models are executed on the 32-bit platform thanks to which the high speed of work is provided.

Since November, 2011 Guardant Sign Flash, Code Flash and the network Guardant Sign Net Flash keys with storage function and works with a protected software directly from a Flash-disk of electronic key went on sale. Flash-disk volume in all models – 4 GB.

The new Guardant models integrate in one body of a possibility of three devices: USB hub, security key and USB stick. Provide to the software companies new schemes of sales and additional competitive advantages, such as:

• Reduction of the delivery. The developer can transfer to the client only the Guardant key with a Flash-disk on which software and also program documentation, distribution kits and the training materials will be directly stored.
• Mobility. New keys allow quickly, it is safe to perform demonstration of software through agency network and to offer clients new schemes of licensing.
• Work without installation and loading of the entrusted environment from a Flash-disk. Irreplaceable opportunities for software products which are used by service engineers and specialists in setup and audit of hardware and software systems.
• Additional data protection of the user.
• Use of a Flash-disk as a fiscal bulk memory.

The developers who are already using the Guardant keys do not have need to finish the created protection under new models. For work with the protected software without installation, directly from a Flash-disk, it is necessary to transfer electronic key to an operation mode without installation of drivers.

In the winter of 2012 the Aktiv company announced release of new models electronic and the Guardant software keys. The updated line of Guardant includes electronic keys of Guardant Sign and Code in micro execution, software keys with licensing on time and on networks, support of Linux for all main models. In addition, the new developer kit includes a full support of Windows 8, and the Guardant Code micro model can be used for protection of software on the Android platform now.

Development was gained also by software technologies of Guardant: the technologies of protection of .NET-applications which are included in a developer kit allow to make obfuscation of the graph of a control flow, character obfuscation, dynamic enciphering and deciphering of methods. According to Asset, classical Win32 applications are protected from the debugger, cryptographic become attached to the security key, and small parts of the code become virtualized using the profayler who is built in a developer kit.

According to developers, the new generation of the software Guardant keys gives to developers of protection ample opportunities on licensing of applications. New management tools keys on the server of activation of Aktiv company and also a set of options of configuring of software keys became available to distribution of licenses on networks or their restrictions on operating time.

"The opportunities given by Guardant technologies constantly grow. Our company works on expansion of a range of supported platforms, offering developers new means of protecting. So, at the end of 2012 we offered the smallest security keys in the world with a LED, hardware protection against piracy on Android and the functional software system of licensing — Stepin Andrey, the associate director of the Guardant project told. — Our products allow to build the systems of protection of any firmness and to protect software products of broad price range. We offer both software keys, and powerful hardware devices, available at cost, with the loaded code and real time clock".

Except new models of keys and a developer kit, Asset provided Guardant Protection Center — the software product intended for fast automatic protection of applications, having the intuitive interface. Important feature of a product is the optimal ratio of firmness of protection and time spent on mastering of a product, developers emphasized.

According to the company, the main consumers of products of Guardant are the Russian software companies which use hardware and software solutions for protection of the drawing software products.
