>Are there any security concerns with the >OTP devices like the 16C57? Or was the discussion here limited to the >eeprom products? > >Rob Diederichs Well, the discussion covered a lot of quite general issues related to the idea of hardware protection of software. The eeprom chips just bring the discussion into focus by being known for their ease of cracking. The OTP parts do not suffer the particular problems of the eeprom parts. Others have, however, made the comment they believe the 'C5x parts are easier to crack than the 'C8x parts! Use your best professional judgement ;) ___Bob (tm, except Scandinavia)
