Beyond iLok: Advanced Code Protection and Cryptography for the Next Generation - ADC 2025

https://audio.dev/ -- @audiodevcon​ --- Beyond iLok: Advanced Code Protection and Cryptography for the Next Generation - Protecting the Next Generation of Applications, Plug-ins, and AI Models - Neal Michie, Ryan Wardell & Bob Brown - ADC 2025 --- You may know PACE Anti-Piracy as “the iLok company,” as well as the parent company of JUCE and ADC, but behind iLok lies four decades of world-class software security. Celebrating our 40th anniversary, PACE continues to evolve its mission: building trust between developers and users through advanced cryptography, anti-reverse engineering technology, and white-box protection. In this session, we’ll take you behind the scenes of PACE’s security architecture — from the foundations of White-Box Works and Fusion to the upcoming Fusion 6 release. We’ll explore new advancements in native code hardening, obfuscation, and anti-tamper defenses, along with a look at Fusion AI, our latest innovation for protecting embedded AI models. Join us for a deep dive into how PACE’s suite of tools helps developers secure applications, plug-ins, and AI systems — ensuring your software is used exactly as you intended. We’ll wrap up with a live Fusion Insight demo and a Q&A on practical approaches to modern software protection. --- ADC is an annual event celebrating all audio development technologies, from music applications and game audio to audio processing and embedded systems. ADC’s mission is to help attendees acquire and develop new audio development skills, and build a network that will support their audio developer career.
