Copy Protection WIBU-KEY

Security proved - Hackers failed to crack Hacker's Contest of WIBU-SYSTEMS

Karlsruhe, 03-01-2002. WIBU-SYSTEMS proves the security of WIBU-KEY with
the end of the Hacker's Contest on 31-12-2001. In spite of a lengthy
competition time of 285 days, WIBU-KEY wasn't cracked. The reliability and
quality of copy protection in WIBU-KEY is shown by the Hacker's Contest.
From the CeBIT 2001 show in March until December 31, 2001, no hacker was
able to succeed! The task was to determine the calculation results of a
protected function which WIBU-SYSTEMS had created and protected by
WIBU-KEY. WIBU-SYSTEMS had made this function and the contest available on
the homepage www.wibu.com.

Oliver Winzenried, CEO and founder of WIBU-SYSTEMS AG, pointed out: "
WIBU-KEY withstood the cracking and hacking efforts of over 300
international registered subscribers. In spite of the attractive prize of
DM 10.000 ($US 4,600) it appears that there is no winner of the
competition. Certainly the WIBU-KEY lives up to all of our claims."
WIBU-SYSTEMS has demonstrated that software can be protected to the highest
security level by WIBU-KEY. WIBU-KEY meets the needs of software companies
who wish to enforce a distribution system such as Electronic Software
Distribution (ESD) or wish to apply custom settlement of their software
using, e.g. Pay-Per-Use, or software leasing.

The problems of pirated software are still a challenge to doing business.
The industry association Business Software Alliance (BSA) announced that in
2000, software piracy rates in Germany are now up to 28 % (source:
www.bsa.de). The resulting loss increased to 650 Mio Euro.
