Abstract

This poster presents a new approach and a tool to protect freely distributed software applications against unauthorized usage. The approach aims to provide an optimal degree of security while simultaneously maintaining an acceptable performance level. The tool demonstrates that the new approach combined with powerful smartcards with high processing and storage capacity, permit the implementation of a practical software protection system where decryption and execution of software fragments are handled by the smartcard, and no longer by the host.
