#110704 - HOW TO PROTECT SOFTWARE?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Friends!

I remember a methode to Code Protect a Project I did many many
Years before. (about 16 Years ago)

I protected a Eprom Code by using a PAL Device witch did
the crypting for me. The Trick was the code in the Eprom
was standart coded and after it worked fine Bytes in
the Code were changed. For example FF > D3 ... and so one.
PAL Devices even GAL Devices support a secure bit that
protect that device from reading out the fusematrix.

Sure today we have Logic Analysers that bring back the
Crypting Methode of PAL or GAL Devices.
But in the early Years of my Coding only Freaks have had those.

The Programm worked fine again when it runed through that
PAL Device. The Code in the Eprom was useless without the
PAL Device. Maybe that old way might Inspirate you to create
your owen Copy Protection.




Have fun at that genius 8052.com webpage !

Cheers Stefan
