NileKey - Encryption & Lockdown

NileKey is a one-way alphanuermic encryption system that can turn any string into a 16-digit product key with unlimited variations. It offers a lock down with UI that can pause your entire app and only unlocks when users enter a correct product key. It's an easy way to secure your app in events, demo builds, freelance jobs or sell licenses for specific device IDs or general keys.

APIs

NileKey offers many public methods for you to use globally from any script. Methods for encrypting, comparing, getting system ID, saving a product key, checking if certain key has been used before and more giving you full control. Check the docs above for more info.

KEYS FOR CERTAIN DEVICES OR GENERAL USE

You can generate product keys for certain devices only OR general keys to be used by any device. You can use this to sell licenses or make sure that your app runs on certain devices only.

LOCK DOWN

A lock down system called NileKeyLock is available with the package. It renders the Lock UI and requires a product key submission by the user. Supports copy/paste. The UI can be completely customized or you can even use your own. The lock down system is also ready as a prefab so a simple drag and drop to the heirarchy is all it takes. It offers many properties and events triggering to set how you also want the Lock UI to behave.

SECURITY

The encryption algorithm is very secure and any change or fiddling to the generated product key no matter how small, leads to operation failure in the comparison. The generated product key also respects the order of the encrypted string. So for example "ABC" key != "ACB" key.

SAVING KEY & CHECKING IF KEY IS USED

You can save any product key to the system as the currently used product key and you can even check whether a certain product key has been used in the past or not. In order to prevent users from using the same product key twice on the same device.

CODE & PACKAGE

The source code is fully commented and comes with 4 demos showcasing different options like encrypting, comparing & lock down. The demo found above is inside the package too.
