That's the problem I've been running into. At some point, in a piece of code we ship them, we will have to have a thing that checks a license and then decrypts the code and runs it. They can just edit that code.
- wmf 17y agoYou're thinking too hard. Use a dongle, and if people crack it then it's not your problem (blame the dongle vendor).
- randrews 17y agoI've been looking at a dongle that allows you to run code on it, so you'd be able to pass it an encrypted program and it would encrypt it for you (without putting the key on the host machine). That should be as secure as the dongle is. My problem is that I've been thinking of a dongle as a secure-ish way to store a key, which still leaves the responsibility for using the key on my code.
