Abstract :
Copyright protection should not be limited to content alone. Software, running on an embedded device and stored in its flash-ROM, is also in danger of being copied or rebranded, resulting in lost revenues and liability issues. Cryptography is a way to prevent this, while being invisible to the customers.
