Guardant Net II

Sometimes it becomes critical to limit the number of licenses of the software run in a local area network. At the same time, it is important that the high level of applications security be maintained. Thus, the advantages of Stealth technology should be available for protection of software in networks.

To achieve this Guardant Net II network dongles have been developed. They offer protective features of Guardant Stealth II dongles while eliminating the need for multiple dongles. This greatly reduces the cost of protection per license.

• Microcontroller-based dongle architecture;
• 256 bytes of non-volatile memory is available for storing user data;
• Hardware-based programmable read/write user data protection;
• Three passwords are used to control access to the dongle;
• Hardware obstruction to debuggers;
• DOS, Win16, Win32 compatibility;
• TCP/IP and NetBIOS networks support;
• Sophisticated protection technics based on on-board one-way data conversion algorithms and symmetric data encryption;
• Special technologies are used for protection of network software;
• Easy configuration and operation of protection software within the nework;
• Hardware algorithms used for data conversion ensure maximum level of security:
  • Symmetric encryption and one-way data transform;
  • Up to 18 algorithms in the dongle;
  • Ability for developer to create, modify and delete algorithms.
• Symmetric GSII64 encryption algorithm:
  • On-board data encryption and decryption;
  • Key length is 128 or 256 bits;
  • Support of basic modes of symmetric block algorithms (ECB, CBC, OFB, CFB).
• One-way Y=F(X) functions:
  • On-board data transformation;
  • Maximum data block length is 255 bytes.
• All features of Guardant Stealth II dongles are supported;
• All major features of Guardant Stealth II automatic protection (envelope) are supported;
• Ability to use Guardant Stealth II API that allows to work with Guardant Net II as with a local (non-network) dongle;
• Ability to use Guardant Net II dongle for local (non-network) protection;
• One Guardant Net II dongle is used across the whole local network;
• Capability to operate in complex networks;
• Added security of network communication;
• Availability of software that allows to create reliable protection for any DOS and Windows applications;
• Ability to design protection of any level of complexity;
• LPT and USB dongles are available;
• Dongles are covered by 3-year warranty;
• Software updates are provided free of charge;

Guardant Net II dongles can be most efficient for professional protection of any network software. Thanks to modest pricing Guardant Net II dongles have managed to reach an optimal cost vs capabilities ratio among network software protection systems.

Guardant Net II Developer's Kit

In order to start your work with Guardant Net II dongles a Developer's Kit is required that comprises the following items:

• One Guardant Net II (LPT or USB) dongle per 5 users*;
• Software on CD;
• Users manual;
• Envelope containing a sheet with access codes to dongles.

* If required, your Developer's Kit can include Guardant Net II dongle with more than 5 licenses. In this case the cost of the Developer's Kit will increase to the difference between the Guardant Net II 5-license kit and an additionally selected dongle.
