Digital Signature

[pilar]

Hi, I want to know if I can put a digital signature into the program memory of a pic, the signature would contain the author name of program or other data, this is possible?

YES you can

the question becomes do you want to be able to REPORT that to the outside world , in the event you are protecting your code ?

a common way to do this is include a documented (or not) command in the program that executes:

printf(" (c)Joe C. Blow 2009 etc etc");

Hi asmboy, in this case my code will not be protected, I just want to place the author's

See the first two posts in this thread. They tell how to embed the date
and time (or other information) in ROM:

if not protected and not printed - and not otherwise referred to
the compiler might choose in some versions to omit it

so located early in your MAIN or other function
