Software authorization method based on public key cryptosystem

Abstract

The invention discloses a software authorization method based on public key cryptosystem. The method includes the following steps: a server end receives an institution authorization certificate and a registration file sent by a client; the server end decrypts the received institution authorization certificate and verifies decrypted information, if the information passes the verification, the registered file is encrypted, and a user authorization certificate is generated and returned to the client; when a customer starts software, the software end encrypts and verifies the user authorization certificate, if the decryption and the verification are successful, the software is started, and otherwise, the software is not started. The method can prevent the software from being illegally copied, meanwhile, the software can be managed by a software issuer in a concentrated mode, and upgrading and tracking of the software, pushing personalized services for users and other after-sale management are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a software authorization method, in particular to a software authorization method based on a public key cryptosystem. Background technique [0002] The existence of piracy has become an important factor restricting the development of the computer software industry. Software is easy to copy and the copy cost is low. Now companies urgently need to take technical measures to protect their copyrights. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study and design an effective, practical and secure software authorization method. [0003] In public key cryptography, the encryption key is different from the decryption key. Among all public key cryptosystems so far, the RSA algorithm is the most famous and widely used one. The RSA algorithm solves the problem of using the public channel transmission and distribution of the key of the symmetric encryption algorithm well. It can also use the RSA algorithm to complete the digital ...

Problems solved by technology

However, as the use of the Internet becomes more and more popular, many shortcomings are also exposed: 1) It is suitable for traditional one-time permanent authorization, and trial versions and on-demand purchases cannot be realized; 2) The existence of hardware brings additional production and initialization , logistics, installation and maintenance costs; 3) installation of drivers and client components and additional hardware devices affect customer experience; 4) electronic distribution based on the Internet cannot be realized; 5) it is difficult to perform upgrades, tracking and after-sales management

However, the current license file authorization mechanism still has obvious deficiencies in the use of institutional management environments, and it cannot realize modular authorization by user level

The organization administrator role cannot effectively manage the authorization information of ordinary users under it
