English Abstract
Most trade organizations face problems with software piracy.
As a result there are many developed systems are available in markets to deal with this problem, but the fact that most of these systems do not offer an appropriate solution.
After reviewing the nature of existing systems the author found that these systems do not take in their considerations the international standard specification for treating this problem.
Therefore, it is difficult for these systems to prevent or stop the piracy.
Thus the purpose of this thesis is to develop a new scheme carrying the characteristics of international standard specifications in order to be able to prevent the piracy in any country by utilizing the Internet and Web services, and by using one from the deterministic public key encryption scheme namely Elgamal scheme and by using the zero knowledge proof of identity technique to grantee the users access to the scheme correctly and Also using the International standard copy number, to ease many of these difficulties.
The proposed scheme is dynamic, scalable and efficient and it claimed to be more acceptable compared with the already existed schemes on the market.
Thus, the author recommends implementing a scheme where a software application merges hardware serial numbers to generate a unique Installation ID.
This Installation ID is send to the manufacturer to verify the authenticity of the application and to ensure that the product is not being used for multiple installations.
So, the author recommends implementing a standard program to make all these techniques on any developed program.
Results are given from which the conclusion is drawn that develop a new scheme entitled "Precluding Software Piracy Using Asymmetric Cryptography" can help significantly in the work of trade organizations that suffering from piracy.
