Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the traditional software authentication method, the user can freely copy the protected files in the software to other hosts, and run the software in conjunction with the bound USB device, and the software issuer cannot prevent the user from copying and disseminating. The protection of software certification is insufficient and the security is not high, thus harming the interests of software issuers and software developers

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Such as figure 1 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the software authentication method based on dongle includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S102, binding the software with the dongle. Bind the protected files in the software with the dongle. When the user runs the software, the dongle needs to be inserted into the host where the software runs, otherwise the software cannot run.

[0033] Step S104, check whether there is a dongle bound with the software every time the software is started, if yes, go to step S108, otherwise go to step S106.

[0034] Step S106, access is denied. When the connected dongle is not a dongle bound with the software, the access is directly denied.

[0035] Step S108, detecting whether the use state of the dongle is in use, if yes, proceed to step S112, otherwise proceed to step S110.

[0036] Step S110, mark the used state in the dongle. If the usage state of the connected dongle is not in use, it indicates that the connected dongle has not ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a software authentication method based on a softdog, comprising the following steps: binding software and the softdog; detecting whether the softdog bound with the software is accessed or not when the software is started each time, if not, denying access, and if so, detecting whether the user mode of the softdog is a used mode or not, if the user mode of the softdog is not the used mode, marking the used state in the softdog and allowing access, if the user mode is a used mode, detecting whether an authorization message can be acquired from the host of operating software, if the authorization message can be acquired, allowing access, and otherwise denying access. By the invention, the fact that one softdog can be utilized on only one host can be ensured, thus effectively preventing the copy propagation behavior of a user possessing the softdog and protected documents, and improving the safety of software authentication.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to software authentication technology, in particular to a software authentication method based on a dongle. 【Background technique】 [0002] A dongle is a hardware device that looks like a USB flash drive, also known as a dongle. The dongle is an encryption product that is inserted into the parallel port of the computer and combines software and hardware. The external interface of the dongle is mainly a USB interface. [0003] The traditional dongle-based software authentication method is to bind the protected files in the software to the USB device. When the user runs the software, the bound USB device needs to be inserted into the host computer where the software runs, otherwise the software cannot run. [0004] However, in the traditional software authentication method, the user can freely copy the protected files in the software to other hosts, and run the software in conjunction with the bound USB device, and the software i...
