Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9921094A2] A system and method of ensuring that a hardware apparatus in a data-link system can be operated only by an authorized user. The method comprises the steps of assigning a unique identification number to the hardware apparatus, generating at least one security information set for the hardware apparatus which is based on the unique identification number of the hardware apparatus, distributing to an authorized user at least one data string from which the security information set for the hardware apparatus can be derived to functionally enable the hardware apparatus, and inputting the data string into the hardware apparatus to either disable at least one level of functionality of the hardware apparatus if an incorrect security information set is derived from the data string, or to enable at least one level of functionality of the hardware apparatus if a correct security information set is derived from the data string.
