---++++ EDAC Anti-Piracy Presentation
Scott Baeder reported on EDAC work in License Management and Anti-Piracy. 

John asked about IP security where secrets are hidden in binaries, and about the performance costs of adequate anti-tampering detection.  Given the costs to implement anti-tampering, a real concern is whether or not the resulting protection actually works in practice. Some of the evidence suggests that revenue from countries with significant piracy can be increased with anti-tampering investments.  Scott pointed out that the value of the protected IP needs to be assess for whether successful piracy will be catastrophic, or just depress the revenue.

Dave G pointed out that P1735 is moving IP from a contract-based distribution into more of a software ecosystem. That target ecosystem attracts piracy risks to a larger extent. Scott also linked the scale of target markets as a factor (full custom design vs. ASIC vs FPGA).  The value of the IP does increase the risk, but he noted that most of the value of anti-piracy efforts is to prevent inappropriate use by legitimate (honest) customers.

---++++ Adjournment 
Motion by Karlton, second by John.  Approved by acclamation at 11:37 pm CDT
