Setting aside opinions on copy protection and licensing, suppose I wanted to implement such a scheme.
The key itself might be a network license, or an encrypted file containing license info and system-specific info. But the real issue is how to protect the code that accesses the key. I know that 'wrappers' don't have much of an application in Unix, and are actually impractical. But what techniques could be implemented within a library or archive that would make it difficult for someone to trace the algorithm and/or make changes to the code to remove the protection checks? jm -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
