Software encryption protection solution

Many software developers think that software encryption is to protect the software from being copied. During encryption, after all, encryption developers seldom or never plan on how to encrypt the software, then there will be some drawbacks or deficiencies in the encryption scheme. The following points are for our reference.

1. Development Environment
The development environment will greatly affect your selection of encryption methods. The development environment includes the language environment you use for development, and the system environment for software operation. If the software runs on the Windows channel, you can choose more encryption methods, but if it is in Linux or other operating systems, there will be fewer encryption methods available. For developers who require cross-Channel application of products, if they want to adhere to the encryption compatibility, they must carefully select the encrypted products they need.

2. Software type
There are many types of software classification methods. For encryption, the general software and special software classification are valued. Because the protection value is different, the encryption methods that can be adopted are different. For general-purpose software, because the user base is massive, even if there is a small question in encryption, there may be a large number of protective jobs. For the encryption of such software, reliability is the first priority.

3. encryption strength
Encryption strength is a relative concept. The stronger the software protection, the better. The software encryption strength is based on the value of development time and operation power. You must select an encryption method that can meet your needs. For sophisticated software that has been compromised by piracy, it is expected to have very good software protection skills to protect their own rights. However, for new software that has not been inspected by the mall, spending too much energy on improving the encryption strength will give users the feeling of seeking for the end.

4. Lifecycle
The specification for checking whether software protection is suitable should be measured by the software life cycle. It is not worth the candle to seek protection from high-intensity and no-cracking attacks. Our specification is that if a software can be not cracked or completely cracked within its desired lifecycle, this encryption will be successful.

5. User Group
The user group of software products is also an important factor that affects encryption. Generally, the more commonly used software is, the more likely it will be to be attacked by the decrypted, but the level of the decrypted is mostly in the amateur. There are only a few opportunities to be attacked for highly-quoted industrial software, but these software is usually a favorite target of professional Decryptors, and their levels are also relatively high.

6. Product Quotation
The quotation of software usually determines the investment cost of software encryption. Because the cost of software encryption is usually controlled between 5%-10% of the price of software on the sales channel.

7. Sales form
The sales form of software is closely related to the encryption method. The demand for selling forms directly affects software preparation and encryption. For example, software multi-module processing, software leasing ...... All are handled through encryption control. Developers should consider the relevant elements during the software development process.

8. Promotion form
In the future, if the software is sold, you may not have to worry about promotion and protection. However, promotion and protection are not free of charge. Many developers also expect that these questions can be well handled through software protection to reduce the cost of software protection.
