Abstract

Copyright protection of software program is crucial for the prosperity of software market. In this paper, we propose a dual software protection scheme. After purchasing a program from merchant, a buyer can exactly install it once. If the buyer redistributed a copy of the program, it could not be installed. Further, if the buyer could break the protection method and redistributed a copy of program, the merchant would be able to identify the traitor.
