Kuka encryption tool

  • Hi all!


    For a KRC4...


    How does the KUKA encryption tool work?
    Is it like the ABB one in which you encrypt a bunch of files and then those files can be uploaded into the robot?


    My idea is to encrypt a set of modules that have my libraries inside... That way the customers can use those ecnrypted files but they can't modify/see them...


    Is that possible?


    Thank you all!

  • Manuel is attached. It for KRC2 but I guess same function for KRC4.



    The program KUKA.Encryption can be used to protect KRL program files of
    types SRC, SUB and DAT against unauthorized access and modification by
    encrypting them. The program also makes it possible to sign the files.
    Functions KUKA.Encryption has four functions that can be combined with one another.
    All encrypted and signed files can be selected and executed and the functions
    can be integrated into other programs.
    KUKA.Encryption contains the following selection parameters for the encryption
    type:
    do nothing: contents are neither encrypted nor signed.
    encrypt: contents are encrypted.
    Encryption of KRL program files of types SRC, SUB and DAT protects the
    data they contain against unauthorized access. Encrypted files cannot be
    read by the operator; they are writable, and changes are saved during a
    cold start.
    sign: contents are signed.
    Signing of KRL program files protects them against unauthorized changes.
    Signed files are write-protected, and can be read in the editor.
    encrypt & sign: contents are encrypted and signed.
    Files which are encrypted and signed are not readable by the operator,
    and are write-protected.
    Additional functions:
    Simultaneously selected KRL program files are automatically grouped together
    as a Protected File Container.
    Protected File Containers can be assigned and distributed on the robot
    controllers.
    KUKA.Encryption generates a setup program containing the encrypted files.
    This setup program can be used to copy the encrypted files to the selected directories
    on the robot controller.
