Quiddicard™ is a set of software libraries that enables the external activation of Quiddikey™ secure key storage (hardware and software) modules. The software runs in an external security device such as a Smart Card, Hardware Security Module (HSM) or on a trusted server.

Quiddicard is available as platform independent software libraries (ANSI-C) such that it is easily ported to different security platforms such as different types of Smart Cards, Hardware Security Modules or Server platforms.

Functionality:

Activation of devices or features, securing the production environment, preventing overproduction, secure key programming

Advantages:

• Portable software module that can be used on different security devices
• Anti-Cloning: Device-unique activation codes cannot be copied from one device to the other
• Secures the production environment

Applications:

• Secure activation of devices or device features
• 100% reporting: Counting the number of activated devices to prevent overproduction
• Production Control: limit the number of devices that can be produced
• Secure key programming without requiring access to secure non-volatile memory on the target device.

Specification Example

Assumptions:

• Computing Activation Code for a 128-bit Quiddikey module
• Platform: 8051 with AES co-processor
