Copy protection method for computer programs using smart card

摘要

The invention of the new copy protection method for computer programs does not prevent the actual copying, but unauthorised use of the copied data. The memory of a mini-processor, which communicates with the computer, contains the necessary code keys and parameters to enable the program to run and be decoded. This microcomputer is associated with every program, e.g. in the form of a smart card (intelligent card in cheque card format).
