Hello There,

Keen to protect Algo and IP.

I have researched some options, I feel best way is on your own custom build black box system so until then, what does everyone think is the best way to protect Algo's and IP?

These are what I have found so far:

investlabs .com /diamondlock2000.html


safenet-in. com/software-monetization/sentinel-hasp/

1). You'll need to use DLLs.

2). You'll need some form of other protection with the DLL's, the one you mention is a pain in the arse. IMHO this is much better...

safenet-inc .com /products/sentinel/hardware_keys.asp


They also offer a pure SW version, but I prefer the USB dongle.

EL alone won't cut it, it can easily be cracked.


Note, even with the above measures, if people want to crack these, they eventually will.


secureteam .net /Obfuscator .aspx

LOOKS GOOD MAYBE USE ALL 3.


Anything I have missed?




Not looking for this thread to become an argument about you do or don't need to, for me I want to.

In my opinion, only good protection is to make it server side based
whatever runs on client side can be debugged, disassembled, traced, reverse engineered...

The MC export "read only" is supposed to be very secure and supposedly cannot be hacked, but an even better option, just make and compile your own dll , I think that would be secure... Check with the MC forum and ask the programmers there- they may have good suggestions...

A DLL is not a guarantee for security.

Do you mean on my vps protecting it there?

PS is there any good options for open source platform that just links with brokers api so its black boxed and locked down?
