Elite EL Net Dongle

For networked licensing, Elite EL NET lowers deployment cost by licensing a number of copies of an application on a single network. Software publishers configure the number of peers that a single dongle will license.

In The Kit

The kit contains an Elite EL Net USB dongle, the Senselock developer's manual, Senselock utility programs, and sample code in various programming languages.

Features

Networking

The Elite EL Net was developed to lower deployment cost - a single server side dongle can license a number of networked instances of an application. Developers pre-configure the number of peer applications to enable. Without manual adjustment, the Elite EL Net dongle balances the networking load with other EL Net devices and initiates the service automatically. In addition, EL Net provide a feature to create, edit and delete white/black list to enable the management of access from peers on the network.

Best Chip Security

The Elite EL Net is designed and manufactured to explicit manufacturing norms (ISO/IEC 10373, ISO/IEC 15408), formulated in accordance with international criteria EAL (Evaluation Assurance Level), and ranked in the international 1-7 grading system for scientific evaluation of chip security. The EAL 5+ chip technology upon which the EL Net is based, is a known upper security limit for current products; it doesn't get any higher.

Elite EL Net is equipped with the most advanced PHILIPS 16-bit smart card chip reaching EAL 5+ in the global hi-tech sector. This furnishes EL with outstanding effectiveness in resistiance to major attacks such as Electronic Attack (SPA and DPA), Probe Attack (SiShell), Chip Dissection and Debug Port.

Code-Port Solution

Code Port is an evolutionary technique of transferring via secure communication, key pieces of executable code to the dongle. When a corresponding dongle is plugged, the protected application invokes specific API functions to run this executable code that has been locked away in the smart chip on the dongle. The code performs operations on data stored in the dongle and returns legal results, so as to complete the full verification operation for the protected application. As the executable code and data stored in the dongle do not have copies on the deployment host PC, malicious crackers cannot get algorithms or data by physical interception. In a word, EL provides the ultimate in reliability to shield software developers from financial loss caused by pirating activities.

Smart Technology

As distinguished from conventional chip technology, the Elite EL smart card chip contains a high performance cryptographic algorithm accelerator or coprocessor. In the chip, the COS (Card Operation System) and its applications are simply running to implement tasks. In other words, this smart card chip can be viewed as a highly integrated mini PC.

Automatic Self-locking Mechanism

Access to the chip is protected by PIN, and the maximum re-tries is pre-set by software developers. For instance, under a dictionary attack, once the number of re-tries exceed the pre-set value, the chip will trigger a self-locking mechanism and block all external running operations.

Global Unique Serial Number

A global unique serial number, which cannot be altered or rewritten, is assigned to the EL smart card chip. This puts an end to the piracy and enables the effective management of released chips. Furthermore, when using Senselock EL dongles, software developers are assigned a unique Client ID, which in effect addresses the critical issue of fraudulent dongle reproduction.

Built-in Timer

A dongle on-board timer is a useful component for software protection that applies to time-limited usage and anti-tracking. EL has a built-in timer lasting more than 10 hours, longer than most competing products on the market today.
