Abstract
The paper presents a software protection system that prevents “software piracy” reliably while allowing to produce an unlimited number of program copies.
Based on a combination of smart card technology and cryptographic techniques the system provides not only a high level of security, but also enhanced ease-of-use for the software manufacturer as well as for the user.
