"We are sotisfied of this confirm
of our decision to choose NetHASP to protect the last version of
QuarkXPress," say Michael Johnson, program manager of QuarkXPress. "It
serves to emphasize our confidence in Aladdin and in its prodoucts,
market leader." In the December 1998, Quark has chosen NetHASP to
protect its version for the net of QuarkXPress Passport 4.04 and
QuarkXPress 4.04.
Yanki Margalit, President of
Aladdin: "The study of NSTL confirm again the leadership position of
HASP in the industry of the protection of software. The big
investments to envelope our prodoucts are repayed by this report, and
our engagment in the research remain the same. We want that HASP
remain in the maximal levels, as most sure system of protection,
because this is what our clients asks and want."
Some
meaningful point of the report:
Security: "Also the function of security Shell of
Sentinel catches up points only for 59% of the similar function of
HASP. [Test score: HASP 8.0: Sentinel 4.7] because the prodouct of
Rainbow haven't any automatic utility for security (Shell/Envelope)
for the key of access; otherwise there is the absence of antidebuggins
technics; the absence of block of the interrupt DOS 01 and 03; and at
last the absence of "armors" with more strates for a better security
function." The report also show that "the realization of the security
by API [of Sentinel] is weak." [Test score: HASP 9.0: Sentinel0.2]
Usefulness: "Thanks to the option Envelope, highly
flexible and rich of function, HASP exceeds its adversary almost 3
times in the subcategory Usefulness of Envelope/Shell ."
Compatibily: "The documentation of Rainbow and the
frequently question an answer on their WEB site, report limitation in
the use of keys collected in pile in series, and also incopatibility
for the different hardware versions of the different key
versions. That bring the score of the Kit of envelope of Sentinel
more under the score obtained by HASP." Functions in the key for Net:
"The prodoucts HASP again obtain an optimal valutation of the
functions of the key for the net, obtaining the double of the
complexive votes in this subcategory. Thanks to the security function
of NetHASP and to the function of license management pf the program LM
[License Manager]."
Versatility: "The superior score of HASP in
Versatility derives from the superiority in almost the nine
subcategory and also in the superiority, with hi margin, in the
subcategory more important, as the Envelope and the API functions."
