The original secure cryptoprocessor was designed for copy protection of personal computer software (see US Patent 4,168,396, Sept 18, 1979) [5] to provide more security than dongles could then provide. See also bus encryption. Hardware cloning, where the dongle is emulated by a device driver, is also a threat to traditional dongles.
When ELM Electronics sold version 1.4 of its ELM327, it did not enable the copy protection feature of the PIC microcontroller. Consequently, anyone who had bought a genuine ELM327-v1.4 could use a device programmer to read ELM's proprietary microcontroller firmware as a binary blob. Pirates could trivially produce an ELM327 clone by purchasing ...
A dongle (center, in white) allowing an ethernet cable (left, in grey) to be connected to a Thunderbolt port on a laptop (right). A dongle is a small piece of computer hardware that connects to a port on another device to provide it with additional functionality, or enable a pass-through to such a device that adds functionality.

The electronic schematics [9] and firmware [10] of the Flipper Zero project are open sourced under the GNU General Public License.At the same time, the device does not fit into the open-source hardware category because the printed circuit boards are not open-sourced, which does not allow enthusiasts to make their own copies of the device without knowledge of electrical engineering.
Transmitting device checks before sending that receiver is authorized to receive the data. The data is encrypted during transmission to prevent eavesdropping. Serial Copy Management System Records in the sub code data bits that expresses whether the media is copy allowed(00), copy once(10) or copy prohibited(11). Traitor Tracing
Copy prevention and copy control may be more neutral terms. "Copy protection" is a misnomer for some systems, because any number of copies can be made from an original and all of these copies will work, but only in one computer, or only with one dongle , or only with another device that cannot be easily copied.
Since 2010, clone computing, in the sense of replicating a session on a host computer in a virtual instance in the cloud, has been introduced. This allows the user to have access to a copy of their PC's desktop on any other computing device such as a tablet computer, a personal computer running any operating system, WebOS, smartphones, etc.
A selection of mobile phones that can be cloned. Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile telephone cloning involves gaining access to the device's embedded file system /nvm/num directory via specialized software or placing a modified EEPROM into the target mobile telephone, allowing the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) and/or Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) of the mobile phone to be changed.
