METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROTECTING APPLICATION PROGRAM

摘要

An application creating apparatus generates first authentication information using an authentication element is provided. The apparatus includes an application module when the application module is created, inserts the first authentication information into the application module, and distributes the application module. A user digital device that executes the application module checks the authentication element and the first authentication information included in the application module, generates second authentication information for the authentication element, and determines whether to execute the application module based on a result of comparison between the first authentication information and the second authentication information.
