English Abstract

Many organizations face difficulties with piracy.

There are a variety of systems available on markets to treat this problem but the fact that most of these system dos not free the problem.

After surveying most of the current systems and after addressing their features and shortcomings, we proposed a new system to deal with these problems.

The proposed system uses standard techniques to ease these difficulties such as Zero knowledge proof, RSA, MD5, and Triple DES.

The finding result is dynamic, scalable, and efficient.

It claims that this scheme is more acceptable compared with the already existed systems on the market.

The author implemented a method where a software application hashes hardware serial numbers to generate a unique Installation ID.

This Installation ID is sent to the manufacturer to verify the authenticity of the application and to ensure that the product is not being used for multiple installations.

The author implemented a generic program to enable this technique on any developed program.
