Model Protection
When you want to share a model with a third party without revealing its contents, protect the model. The model protection process compiles the model and packages the derived artifacts in a model reference. For a protected model, you can:
Select optional functionalities for the model, such as simulation, code generation, and viewing a read-only view of the model.
Optionally password-protect the supported functionalities.
Optionally allow the recipient to tune parameters for simulation of the protected model.
Specify what type of generated code to include in the model, such as obfuscated code or compiled code.
Create a project that contains a harness model, the protected model, and the files required to use the protected model.
Digitally sign the protected model. The recipient can verify that the model was created by you and was not changed after you signed it.
