Why choose ROCKEY6 ?

• Hardware security
  ROCKEY6 enables the developer to secure code and data from the PC environment. ROCKEY6 works on the basis of transplanting code from the PC to the secure ROCKEY6 environment. A kernel of application critical algorithms and data are transplanted from the application to the ROCKEY6 environment. This new program is termed an "external" program and completely executes inside the ROCKEY6 dongle. The external program will not be contained in PC memory during execution. The developer should not keep a copy of the external program on the host computer.
  Smart card technology makes it virtually impossible for crackers to track, debug or read the external program. The external program exchanges data with the main program (The "main program" executes on the host machine) through the interface.
• Certified smart card hardware
  ROCKEY6 is based on smart card hardware certified by the world's leading security organizations. A customized smart card chip is at the heart of the ROCKEY6 dongle. The smart card chip utilized by ROCKEY6 is a highly integrated device that is certified to EAL4+ and ITSEC and is far more secure than most single-chip microcomputers. The ROCKEY6 chip also meets the ISO (International Standards Organization) standard ISO/IEC 10373 that defines test requirements for smart cards under ultraviolet, X-ray and electromagnetic fields.
• ROCKEYCOS
  The COS (Card Operating System) used by ROCKEY6 was developed by Feitian Technologies, a leader in both software protection and smart card technologies since 1998. The Feitian COS (ROCKEYCOS) combines IC card standards with the characteristics of traditional dongles and is fully compatible with ISO 7816-3. Feitian has drawn on its experience in both smart card and dongle technologies in the painstaking and time consuming process of creating the COS. Dongle manufacturers who release "smart card" dongles based on a COS developed by a third party are relying on technical know-how and thoroughness of that third party, and may unwittingly introduce security problems hidden in the COS.
• A flexible and effective management solution
  ROCKEY6 was developed to meet the varying demands of today's complex software market. There is great diversity in software sales and license management including software trial, software lease and multi-module releases. The ROCKEY6 file system is powerful enough to adapt to all of these requirements and more. Features such as "class coding" to enable several applications to be protected in a single dongle, or "privilege codes" to support multi-level protection of critical data, or "remote update management" for enabling or disabling remotely stored application modules, overlay a powerful COS that can be employed for any number of application protection scenarios.
• Simple yet powerful Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
  The complexity and power of the ROCKEYCOS is simplified by the ROCKEY6 IDE (Integrated Development Environment). The IDE is the utility Feitian provides to simplify the software protection method. The IDE integrates editor, compiler, debugger and IC language emulator. Developers can perform all dongle programming work with the IDE. The IDE also offers virtual/real dongle management functions. You can directly put the compiled "external program" in the virtual device and then emulate the run and debug. When the external program is OK, you may copy it from the virtual device to the real device with the traditional Windows copy/paste method. Both the virtual and real devices utilize an Explorer-like file system management and will be familiar to most developers.
• Complete solution with a high level of security
  Most developers have only a rough idea about software protection and cannot afford a lot of time to study advanced software protection theories. Thus their software protection system may contain bugs or omissions that can be exploited by crackers. Prior to developing ROCKEY6, we collected and analyzed some typical and popular protection solutions and the COS was designed to support such solutions. If developers adopt our protection solution, their software will enjoy a higher level of security.
  • Customer unique management codes and globally unique hardware ID
  • Super password and privilege levels allow for advanced file system security management
  • Remote software updates based on "One-time-only" password technology
  • Secure file transfer

The result is an ideal and very robust software security solution.
