Embedded Security
Protection for everyone
For the plant engineer, integrity protection implies operation
within the specified parameters to ensure warranties are
not jeopardized because of excessive wear and tear.

Controller
CodeMeter provides protection for everyone in the embedded
systems business, from the controller manufacturer through
the equipment manufacturer and manufacturing/plant
engineer to the user. CodeMeter is unique in its ability to
simultaneously and separately store the licenses of controller
manufacturers, third-party library providers and equipment
manufacturers in an industrial standard CmDongle.
Integrity and manipulation protection
Integrity and manipulation protection are of primary
importance to all. The user wants to be sure their assets

are protected against sabotage attempts. Integrity
protection means safety and security go closely hand
in hand too. Networked embedded system, so-called
cyber physical systems in critical infrastructures and
metropolitan solutions all require integrity protection,
mutual authentication of systems as well as encrypted
communication. These functions are all provided by
CodeMeter.
For the controller supplier, integrity protection is added
value, which they can sell to their customers, but more
importantly it provides protection against illegal copies
of their software components.
Secure equipment log book
CodeMeter allows tamper-resistant storage of production
data in the CmDongle. If a fault occurs, the data can be
analyzed. This facilitates understanding of the fault and
helps prevent it from occurring again.
