Abstract

See full text

The copy protection system and method combines the features of a conventional electronic data carrier with a dongle to form a secure storage medium. The storage medium has a unique identification, such as a device serial number. The host transmits a challenge signal to the storage medium and then checks the response received from the storage medium for a proper correlation between the useful data and the storage medium. A mismatch indicates that the data is present on a bootleg carrier instead of on its authorized carrier. Therefore, if the response signal in the challenge-response process does not correspond to the expected setpoint response, then the data are not authorized for processing.
