been added , ranging from the small-footprint software-based CmActLicenses to cloud containers and the new CmReady that combines the best of both worlds with a novel license binding concept . At the same time , the inner qualities of CodeMeter have continued to evolve to include new encryption capabilities for almost any development and usage scenario and top-end protection solutions like CodeMoving with its option to execute particularly sensitive code exclusively within the secure environs of a CmDongle or a CmCloud- Container .
models , and the looming danger of quantum computing beating established cryptographic capabilities . With the bright minds at the company ’ s new campus in Karlsruhe and a growing IT security community around the neighboring House of IT Security , Wibu-Systems is ready for what the future holds in store .
One particular milestone in CodeMeter ’ s evolution marks another anniversary : Ten years ago , Wibu-Systems unveiled Blurry Box , the Kerckhoffs-compliant encryption technology that takes CodeMeter protection to another level . What seems an arcane issue for crypto-enthusiasts – a 19th century French cryptographer ’ s idea that only the keys themselves and not the inner workings or algorithms of a cryptographic system should be kept secret – is the holy grail for practical crypto-applications like software licensing . It is the antithesis to the misguided belief in security-by-obscurity . With Blurry Box , Wibu-Systems and its partners at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the FZI realized such a system and immediately proved its strength in a public worldwide hacking challenge , beating all attempted attacks . Blurry Box deservedly won considerable industry attention and awards , including the 5th German IT Security Award .
Soaring away As the company is well into its fourth decade in the market , Wibu-Systems continues to soar with new products and services and technological inventions . The cloud has featured prominently in Wibu-Systems ’ business in the last few years , as the company has invested in high availability data center resources , leveled up CodeMeter ’ s capabilities for popular virtualization scenarios like the use of Docker containers , and added a whole new category to its license container lineup : CmCloud is far more than just another option next to software containers or dongles . With a new dimension of portability and connectivity , and protection power to rival the top-end CmDongles , CmCloud gives clients new inroads into CodeMeter licensing . Different service packages and hosting options are available to fit any scenario and help create entirely new software business models .
And Wibu-Systems has already set its sights on the next frontiers for protection and licensing : the means to secure AI and machine learning
