A bit of history
Wibu-Systems GbR (that’s the original name of the company) was founded by Oliver Winzenried and Marcellus Buchheit in Karlsruhe in 1989, with the goal to deliver secure and easy-to-use software licensing and protection technologies to the market. The idea for the first WibuBox as a dongle for the LPT interface was born that year.
What is WIBUKEY?
WIBUKEY User’s Guide version 4.10, May 2004:
WIBU-KEY is an intellectual property protection system. It works to prevent the use of illegal copies of software and data files. WIBU-KEY consists of encryption and driver software and a hardware component called the WIBU-BOX. The principle of the protection is the encryption of the intellectual property. Interrogations and encryption are built into the software or data file to be protected. These access the WIBU-BOX, which is connected to the computer. The WIBU-BOX confirms the interrogations and implements the decryption of the encrypted program or data file. Without the WIBU-BOX, the protected software cannot be used and the protected data files cannot be read. This decryption cannot be replicated by a software process, because it relies on certain secrets which are built directly into the WIBU-BOX. WIBU-SYSTEMS guarantees the non-reproducibility of theWIBU-BOX. This way no more copies of the program can be used than defined in the WIBU-BOX hardware.
