Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Currently popular computer software (application programs) generally use software authorization serial numbers or software authorization serial numbers bound to computer hardware information and other authorization methods for authorization activation. When using the method of binding hardware information, the main components of the computer (such as motherboard, CPU, disk, memory, network card, graphics card, sound card, etc.) The form is saved in the computing device. FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of software authorization in the prior art by using a software authorization serial number to bind hardware information. As shown in Figure 1, the specific process of software authorization in the prior art is as follows:

Read the authorization file information of the client machine, and determine whether the authorization file exists.

If the authorization file does not exist, the authorization fails.

If the authorization file exists, read the authorization file information of the gram-short machine, and determine whether there is a network connection during the process.

If it is determined that there is a network connection, the verification of the authorization information is completed through the authorization server.

When it is judged that there is no network connection, read the authorization status when the software was opened last time locally as the verification result (for example, if the last authorization verification was successful, this time the default authorization was successful; if the last authorization verification failed, this time continuation of the result of an authorization failure). Or directly determine that the authorization failed. When the software is opened every time, it is compared with the authorization information stored in the authorization server, and then the authorization server sends the authorization verification result of the client software, but when the software authorization server is offline or cannot be connected, the software authorization verification cannot be completed. In turn, it may continue to continue the authorization status when the software was opened last time or return the result of authorization verification failure.

For the authorization methods provided above, the following problems inevitably exist:

1) Due to some circumstances, the authorization verification cannot be performed due to disconnection from the Internet, and thus the authorization cannot be obtained.

2) Only the serial number authorization is performed without binding hardware information; resulting in the unlimited proliferation of authorization once the serial number is leaked; or in order to solve the diffusion of the serial number and lead to authorization proliferation, and then require the need to be connected to the Internet, which leads to the problem of defect 1 Appear.

3) Binding a single hardware information solves the problem of authorization proliferation caused by only serial number authorization; but it will introduce the following problems

a. Due to non-standard hardware, individual hardware information is invalid, thus forming an invalid binding.

b. Once the hardware is replaced, the authorization will become invalid.

4) The hardware information is fully bound, which reduces the probability of invalid binding, but introduces new problems: the increase of users and the replacement of individual hardware lead to the invalidation of authorization, which in turn leads to a decrease in user experience, damage to user interests, and after-sales services of software manufacturers. Issues such as increasing investment.

5) Use computer files to record authorization status and authorization information, which may lead to authorization diffusion due to file diffusion; or file binding hardware information, but authorization invalidation due to user replacement of individual hardware.

In order to solve the above existing problems in the prior art, in the embodiment of the present invention, a new application program (software) authorization method is proposed, the method is divided into two stages, wherein, the first stage is the (Computing equipment) During the production process of the manufacturer, the complete machine manufacturer reads the effective value of the hardware information required in the matching rule according to the preset hardware information matching rules (such as: motherboard, BIOS, hard disk, cpu, network card, memory, N pieces of hardware information such as graphics card, sound card, etc.), and encrypt the effective values of the read hardware information one by one; bind all the encrypted ciphertexts generated after encryption with the authorization serial number of the application program, and calculate and generate a checksum value, so that the final authorization information is generated, and the final authorization information is written into the BIOS. It should be pointed out that, in the computing device, a piece of authorization information may be pre-configured and arranged, where a piece of authorization information corresponds to the authorization of an application program, and will not be listed here.

The second stage is the stage of verifying the authorization information. The software first reads the authorization information stored in the BIOS, extracts all the hardware information ciphertext and authorization serial number from the read authorization information to calculate the verification value, and calculates the verification value and authorization Compare the verification values in the information, if the two verification values are the same, then verify whether the read authorization serial number is legal and valid; if it is a legal authorization serial number, finally read all the hardware on the machine within the matching rule range The information is encrypted and calculated one by one, and the encrypted ciphertext and the hardware information ciphertext read in the BIOS are matched according to the matching rules to meet the matching rules (for example: there are 7 hardware information in the matching range, and 5 or more hardware information are satisfied. If the information ciphertext is the same, the match is successful), then the authorization verification is considered successful.

Both stages of the application program authorization method provided in this embodiment are executed in the computing device. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a computing device 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , in a basic configuration 202 , computing device 200 typically includes system memory 206 and one or more processors 204 . A memory bus 208 may be used for communication between the processor 204 and the system memory 206 .

Depending on the desired configuration, processor 204 may be any type of processing including, but not limited to, a microprocessor (μP), microcontroller (μC), digital information processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. Processor 204 may include one or more levels of cache such as L1 cache 210 and L2 cache 212 , processor core 214 and registers 216 . Exemplary processor core 214 may include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a floating point unit (FPU), a digital signal processing core (DSP core), or any combination thereof. An example memory controller 218 may be used with the processor 204 or, in some implementations, the memory controller 218 may be an internal part of the processor 204 .

Depending on the desired configuration, system memory 206 may be any type of memory including, but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.), or any combination thereof. System memory 206 may include operating system 220 , one or more applications 222 , and program data 224 . The application 222 is actually a plurality of program instructions, which are used to instruct the processor 204 to perform corresponding operations. In some implementations, applications 222 may be arranged to execute instructions on an operating system with program data 224 by one or more processors 204 . The operating system 220 may be, for example, Linux, Windows, etc., which includes program instructions for handling basic system services and performing hardware-dependent tasks. The application 222 includes program instructions for realizing various user-desired functions. The application 222 may be, for example, a browser, instant messaging software, software development tools (such as an integrated development environment IDE, a compiler, etc.), but is not limited thereto. When the application 222 is installed in the computing device 200, a driver module may be added to the operating system 220.

When the computing device 200 starts to run, the processor 204 reads program instructions of the operating system 220 from the memory 206 and executes them. The application 222 runs on the operating system 220, and utilizes the interface provided by the operating system 220 and the underlying hardware to realize various user-desired functions. When the user starts the application 222 , the application 222 is loaded into the memory 206 , and the processor 204 reads and executes the program instructions of the application 222 from the memory 206 .

Computing device 200 also includes storage device 232 , which includes removable storage 236 and non-removable storage 238 , both of which are connected to storage interface bus 234 .

Computing device 200 may also include interface bus 240 to facilitate communication from various interface devices (eg, output devices 242 , peripheral interfaces 244 , and communication devices 246 ) to base configuration 202 via bus/interface controller 230 . Example output devices 242 include a graphics processing unit 248 and an audio processing unit 250 . They may be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices such as a display or speakers via one or more A/V ports 252 . Example peripherals interfaces 244 may include serial interface controller 254 and parallel interface controller 256, which may be configured to facilitate communication via one or more I/O ports 258 and input devices such as (e.g., keyboard, mouse, pen) , voice input device, touch input device) or other peripherals (such as printers, scanners, etc.) to communicate with external devices such as. The example communication device 246 may include a network controller 260 , which may be arranged to facilitate communication with one or more other computing devices 262 over a network communication link via one or more communication ports 264 .

A network communication link may be one example of a communication medium. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and may include any information delivery media. A "modulated data signal" may be a signal that has one or more of its data sets or changes thereof in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of non-limiting example, communication media may include wired media such as a wired or dedicated-line network, and various wireless media such as acoustic, radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR) or other wireless media. The term computer readable media as used herein may include both storage media and communication media.

Computing device 200 also includes a storage interface bus 234 coupled to bus/interface controller 230 . The storage interface bus 234 is connected to the storage device 232, and the storage device 232 is suitable for data storage. Exemplary storage devices 232 may include removable storage 236 (eg, CD, DVD, USB stick, removable hard disk, etc.) and non-removable storage 238 (eg, hard disk drive HDD, etc.).

In the computing device 200 according to the present invention, the application 222 includes a plurality of program instructions for performing the method 300 or the method 400 . The application authorization method of the present invention includes a method for generating authorization information in the aforementioned first phase and burning it into a computing device (corresponding to method 300) and a method for verifying authorization information in the aforementioned second phase (corresponding to method 400) ), which are introduced separately below.

Fig. 3 shows a flow chart of a method 300 for generating authorization information and burning it into a computing device in an application authorization method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method 300 is suitable for execution in a computing device, such as the aforementioned computing device 200 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the purpose of the method 300 is to generate authorization information and burn it into the computing device. The method 300 begins with step S302.

In step S302, at least one piece of hardware information in the computing device is respectively encrypted to generate respective first hardware encrypted information. As mentioned above, the computing equipment includes multiple hardware (such as: motherboard, BIOS, hard disk, cpu, network card, memory, graphics card, sound card, etc.), and the staff needs to set the The range of matching degree of hardware information, that is, which hardware is selected as the hardware information to be bound. In other words, what hardware information needs to be encrypted needs to be stored in the computing device.

Exemplarily, the validity and reliability of the hard disk is higher than that of the sound card, and the information of the hard disk is preferentially selected as the binding information. The reliability and validity can be determined by referring to the user replacement ratio or the number of times in the historical data compared between the two.

In a specific example, the following hardware information matching degree range may be referred to:

a. Hard disk information + CPU information + memory information + BIOS information + motherboard information + network card information;

b. Hard disk 1 information + hard disk 2 information + motherboard information + network card 1 information + network card 2 information;

c. Motherboard information + BIOS information + CPU information + memory information.

Wherein, a, b, and c respectively represent a range of hardware information matching degree.

After the range of matching degree of hardware information is determined, the hardware information of all hardware in the selected range of matching degree of hardware information is read out, and an encryption algorithm is used to encrypt all hardware information within the matching range of hardware information one by one. Preferably, the SHA256 encryption algorithm can be used, but of course it is not limited thereto, and other hash encryption algorithms such as MD5, or encryption algorithms such as RSA and DSA can also be used.

Continuing the previous example, taking SHA256 as an example, after encrypting the hardware in the matching degree of each hardware information, it can be expressed as:

a ₁ .SHA256(hard disk information)+SHA256(CPU information)+SHA256(memory information)+SHA256(BIOS information)+SHA256(main board information)+SHA256(network card information);

b _1. SHA256 (hard disk 1 information) + SHA256 (hard disk 2 information) + SHA256 (mainboard information) + SHA256 (network card 1 information) + SHA256 (network card 2 information);

c ₁ .SHA256(mainboard information)+SHA256(BIOS information)+SHA256(CPU information)+SHA256(memory information).

Wherein, a ₁ , b ₁ , and c ₁ respectively include multiple pieces of hardware encryption information.

It should be noted that the hardware information needs to be able to uniquely specify the hardware. For example, if the hardware is a motherboard, the motherboard information can be the serial number of the motherboard; if the hardware is a CPU, the CPU information can be the CPU serial number; if the motherboard is a network card, then the network card The information may be a network card MAC or the like.

In step S304, the authorization serial number of the application is obtained. The license serial number of the application program is provided by the software manufacturer.

In step 306, based on the verification value generation algorithm, each first hardware encryption information and the authorization serial number of the application program are encoded to generate a first verification value. Specifically, the check value generating algorithm may adopt a cyclic redundancy check algorithm (CRC), but of course it is not limited thereto.

In a specific example, the hardware encryption information a ₁ in the above example is encoded with the authorization serial number of the application program for the following description:

Check value (a ₁ + authorization serial number of the application) = CRC [SHA256 (hard disk information) + SHA256 (CPU information) + SHA256 (memory information) + SHA256 (BIOS information) + SHA256 (main board information) + SHA256 (network card information) + the authorization serial number of the application].

In this example, a complete authorization information (a ₁ ) can be expressed as:

Of course, in order to further improve the stability and diversity of authorization, for the same application, multiple authorization information can also be generated as an alternative to ensure that authorization verification can still be completed normally when some hardware is replaced. process. For example, using the method in this example, authorization information (b ₁ ) and authorization information (c ₁ ) corresponding to the aforementioned hardware encryption information b ₁ and c ₁ are generated respectively.

In step 308, the generated authorization information is written into the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) chip of the computing device by burning. Multiple authorization information can be burned in the BIOS chip, for example, authorization information (a ₁ ), authorization information (b ₁ ) and authorization information (c ₁ ), or only one authorization information can be burned, which is not limited here.

Based on the above content, it can be seen that the authorization information is actually a long array, which is not convenient for storage and analysis. Therefore, before the authorization information is burned into the BIOS chip, the method 300 also includes:

Structural processing is performed on the first hardware encryption algorithm, the authorization serial number of the application program and the first check value. A structure is formed by forming the first hardware encryption algorithm, the authorization serial number of the application program and the first check value. Specifically, related algorithms can be used for structured processing, for example:

After the authorization information is structured, on the one hand, it can facilitate the burning of the authorization information, and on the other hand, it can improve the confidentiality of the authorization information.

Alternatively, the authorization information can also be burned into the BIOS chip in the form of a table, for example as follows:

Field Name	field length (bytes)
Hard disk encryption information	32
CPU encryption information	32
Motherboard encrypted information	32
Application License Serial Number	16
Check value	4

The above completes the process of generating and burning authorization information in the first stage of the application program authorization method provided by this embodiment.

Fig. 4 shows a flow chart of an authorization information verification method 400 in an application program authorization method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method 400 is suitable for execution in a computing device, such as the aforementioned computing device 200 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the purpose of the method 400 is to verify the authorization information, starting from step S402. In step S402, at least one authorization information pre-stored in the computing device is extracted, the authorization information includes at least one first hardware encryption information, The authorization serial number and the first check value of the application program. The authorization information is pre-burned into the BIOS chip of the computing device, and its generation process and burning process correspond to the above-mentioned method 300, which will not be repeated here.

In step S404, the authorization information is analyzed to determine whether the authorization information is correct.

Specifically, the authorization information is analyzed, and the first hardware encryption information, the authorization serial number of the application program, and the first check value are respectively obtained; the first hardware encryption information and the authorization serial number of the application program are encoded by a check value generation algorithm, Generate a second check value; judge whether the first check value is the same as the second check value; if the first check value is the same as the second check value, then judge whether the authorization serial number of the application is legal; if the application If the authorization serial number of the program is legal, then confirm that the authorization information is correct. Correspondingly, when the first check value is not the same as the second check value or the application is invalid after being authorized, the authorization fails.

It should be noted that the verification value generation algorithm adopted when generating the second verification value should be the same as the verification value generation algorithm adopted in the aforementioned step S306.

In a specific example, to determine whether the authorization serial number of the application is legal, you can query the rules of the software manufacturer corresponding to the application when generating the authorization serial number. For example, the authorization serial numbers generated by the software manufacturer are all numbers, and If there are non-numbers (for example, letters) in the license serial number of the obtained application, it means that the software serial number of the application is illegal; or, the license serial number generated by the software manufacturer is 11 digits, and the obtained application If the authorization serial number of the program is more or less than 11, it means that the software serial number of the application program is illegal, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

It should also be noted that if the authorization information is structured when it is generated, it is necessary to destructure the authorization information during parsing, that is, use an algorithm that is inverse to the structural algorithm to process the authorization information.

In step S406, when it is determined that the authorization information is correct, each piece of hardware information related to the preset matching rule of the computing device is acquired.

Specifically, each hardware identification corresponding to the first hardware encryption information is acquired; and each hardware information related to each hardware identification in the current computing device is acquired. The hardware identification can be understood as a hardware name, in other words, which hardware is encrypted in the first hardware encryption information is obtained, and then the hardware information of these hardware configured in the computing device is checked. The hardware information can be obtained through documents such as the instruction manual of the computing device, or can be obtained by viewing the attributes of the computing device, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In a specific example, the preset matching rule may be: the range of matching hardware information corresponding to the first hardware encryption information is 7 pieces of hardware, then the current computing device satisfies the matching of 5 or more pieces of hardware information corresponding to the first hardware encryption information The hardware in the hardware information range can be the same, or the matching range is 5 hardware, and 3 or more hardware information can be the same, etc.

In step S408, the hardware information is respectively encrypted to generate second hardware encrypted information.

It should be noted that the encryption algorithm used when generating the second hardware-encrypted information should be the same as that used when generating the first hardware-encrypted information.

In step S410, the second hardware encrypted information is matched with the first hardware encrypted information, and when the preset matching rule is met, the authorization is successful. Specifically, the second hardware encryption information is matched with the first hardware encryption information, and when the matching degree reaches a preset threshold, the authorization is successful. For example, the first hardware encryption information corresponds to 7 pieces of hardware encryption information, if the 5 pieces of hardware encryption information corresponding to the second hardware encryption information are the same as those in the first hardware encryption information, the authorization is successful; otherwise, the authorization fails.

The scheme of the present invention adopts the method of binding the hardware information and the software authorization serial number to solve the problem of unlimited proliferation of the authorization serial number, thereby reducing the loss of the software manufacturer and strengthening the support for the genuine software, and, in this scheme, the hardware The information and software authorization serial number are burned in the BIOS, so that the authorization verification process can still be completed normally even when offline.

This solution also proposes a hardware information matching rule. When the user replaces some hardware, the authorization verification process can still be completed normally, thus providing the user with a certain degree of freedom and improving the user experience. At the same time, it strengthens the software provider’s interest protection.
