Security by Default
In 2016, Wibu-Systems entered a unique techno-
logical and commercial agreement with Kontron
to fit all of Kontron’s products (modules, mother-
boards, and systems) coming with sixth-generation
Intel ® Core™ and Intel ® Xeon ® , Intel ® Atom™, In-
tel ® Celeron ® , or the most recent iteration of Intel ®
Pentium ® processors with the APPROTECT techno-
logy and furnish upgrade kits for previous Kontron
models. APPROTECT combines a software frame-
work with an integrated security chip (CodeMe-
ter ASIC) and TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module)
to achieve the optimum in software protection.
At its heart, Kontron’s APPROTECT is built around
CodeMeter, which encrypts the source code of ap-
plications executed on embedded components to
prevent any illicit copies or reverse engineering. On
top of these fundamental capabilities, CodeMeter
also offers product managers other license ma-

nagement functions to pave the way for more diver-
sified marketing strategies with per-use or time-ba-
sed licensing and the after-sales activation of new
features in the field.
