摘要:
A cartridge preferably for use with a game console. The cartridge comprises a ROM, a non-volatile memory, a processor and an encryption unit. An application running on the console may read data from the ROM, read data from the non-volatile memory, and write data in the non-volatile memory. Data to be written in the non-volatile memory is encrypted by the encryption unit, but data to be read is returned in encrypted form for decryption by a decryption function of the game application. Data may also be received encrypted to be decrypted and returned. The encryption or decryption unit may also receive data from the non-volatile memory and send it to the interface. The invention improves on the prior art copy protection as a hacker must reverse engineer the game application in order to copy it, if the encryption unit is unknown. The invention also provides an optical medium equipped with a RFID circuit.

摘要:
A cartridge preferably for use with a game console. The cartridge comprises a ROM, a non-volatile memory, a processor and a dispatcher. An application running on the console may communicate with the dispatcher using predefined addresses, which enables the dispatcher to access the ROM, the non-volatile memory, or the processor, as the case may be. The invention improves on the prior art copy protection as no generic copy method may be found if the addresses are changed from one cartridge to another. In addition, to copy the software, the processor must be emulated.
摘要:
A method for acquisition of a software application stored on a software application distribution unit and intended to be supplied to a user computer unit is disclosed wherein, the user computer unit communicates an item of identification information identifying the software application to be acquired to an electronic security module connected to the user computer unit. The module generates, using a secret and identification information, an item of user information and transmits it with the identification information to the unit. The unit protects with the user information the software application identified by the identification information and the protected software application is transmitted to the user computer unit. Thus, the software application is protected with an item of information from the electronic security module of the user. The protected software application then has its protection removed on an electronic security unit equipped with an electronic security module.
摘要:
A 3D object is protected by a first device that receives the 3D object, permutes the coordinates of at least one dimension of at least some of the points of the 3D object to obtain a protected 3D object, and outputs the protected 3D object. The coordinates of the dimensions are preferably permuted independently of the permutations of the other dimensions. The protected 3D object is unprotected by a second device (140) by receiving the protected 3D object, permuting the coordinates of at least one dimension of at least some the points of the protected 3D object to obtain an unprotected 3D object, and outputting the unprotected 3D object. Also provided are the first device, the second device and computer readable storage media.
摘要:
A rotation-activated electronic component, preferably a RFID tag mounted on or incorporated in a support that is rotated when read, e.g. a CD or DVD. The RFID tag comprises an antenna, a rotational switch, a component, advantageously a processor, and a time usage limiter. The antenna is adapted to transform received RFID signals to electric energy that powers the component and the rotational switch is adapted to cut the circuit unless the support does not rotate at or above a certain rotational speed. The time usage limiter counts down a timer when it is powered via the rotational switch and disables the RFID tag when the timer expires. Supports equipped with the RFID tag of the invention will thus respond until the timer expires, and preferably only if they rotate sufficiently.

摘要:
A rotation-activated electronic component, preferably a RFID tag mounted on or incorporated in a support that is rotated when read, e.g. a CD or DVD. The RFID tag comprises an antenna, a rotational switch and a component, advantageously a processor. The antenna is adapted to transform received RFID signals to electric energy that powers the component. In a preferred embodiment, the rotational switch is adapted to cut the circuit unless the support does not rotate at or above a certain rotational speed. Supports equipped with the RFID tag of the invention will thus respond only if they rotate sufficiently. This can avoid collisions in case more than one such RFID tag is within communication range of an antenna of a reader. In a preferred embodiment, the information returned by the component is needed for full use of the content on the support.

A 3D object is protected by a first device that receives the 3D object, generates translation vectors that are added to the points of the 3D object to obtain a protected 3D object, and outputs the protected 3D object. The protected 3D object is unprotected by a second device by receiving the protected 3D object, generating translation vectors that are subtracted from the points of the protected 3D object to obtain an unprotected 3D object, and outputting the unprotected 3D object. Also provided are the first device, the second device and computer readable storage media.
摘要:
A method of executing a software application. A storage device stores connection data, an identifier of the software application, a context selector, and an application launcher. An execution device connects, using the connection data, to a server. The storage device transfers the context selector to the execution device, which executes it to generate a first context for the execution device. The identifier and the first context are sent to the server from which the storage device receives the software application, which is stored with the first context. The application launcher is transferred to the execution device for execution. A second context of the execution device is generated and the storage device checks if it matches the first context. If so, the storage device transfers the software application to the execution device where it is executed.
