Security Enhancement against theft of program files and the PG-FP6 main unit

The following three features are added to enhance security against theft of program files and the PG-FP6 main unit.

  • Encryption of program files
  • Saving of encrypted files in the PG-FP6 main unit
  • Simultaneous decryption and writing in the PG-FP6

The program file encryption function can be run by using the encryption utility program (RPE.exe) from the command line. The file is among those installed by the FP6 Terminal installer.
