Protecting method and protecting system for authentication server software copyright

Abstract

The invention discloses a protecting method and a protecting system for authentication server software copyright. The protecting method includes authorization request. The authorization request includes the steps that first request information sent by a user terminal is received, and the first request information comprises software information and hardware information bound with the software information; whether the software information in the first request information is stored is queried; and if the software information in the first request information is not stored, after the first request information is stored, a digital signature is conducted on the software information and the hardware information in the first request information, and the signature is used as authorization information and sent to the user terminal of the first request information. By combining the software information and the hardware information, authentication server software can only be installed and operated on legal hardware and can not be operated on other hardware, and therefore intellectual property of vast authorization server software developers is completely protected. Numerous modules are not required to be installed on a client terminal due to an online software protecting method, and therefore installing, deployment and maintaining are easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and system for copyright protection of authentication server software. Background technique [0002] Due to its product characteristics, software is easy to be copied, adapted, and pirated, and the whole process is fast and concealed, which can easily lead to infringement. Therefore, software copyright protection is even more important. [0003] There are two types of software copyright protection: hardware-based protection technology and software-based protection technology. The main purpose of hardware-based software protection technology is to prevent hardware from being copied, including two typical ways: dongle (encryption lock) and CD-ROM floppy disk protection, which need to occupy the computer's external interface slot and require additional costs. Compared with hardware-based protection technology, software-based protection technology has obvious ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The authentication server is a device that provides access to the authentication server for Internet terminals and network access devices. Its main functions include user authentication, user service authorization, and user information management. Therefore, the copyright protection of the authentication server software is particularly important. Both protection technology and software-based protection technology require the installation of client hardware, drivers, or local licenses, and there is no connection between the authentication server software developer and the application program, so later license upgrades are troublesome, usually through The client generates the request string, and then the authentication server software developer tool generates the return string manually.

In addition, both the client’s encryption lock hardware and the license file are easier to be analyzed and cracked by the cracker. For the encryption lock hardware, there are currently many ways to crack the hardware copy.
