A researching of the process of binding software to hardware

Abstract

Information security is one of the most important sphere in Cybernetics. And for Russia this problem is state-of-the-art because of the wide-spread internet piracy and a huge number of hackers. This article explores the commonest ways to protect software using binding to hardware, with a focus on the main approaches to a collection of data from hardware and ways of data processing. As a possible method of solution it is accepted to collect data from main parts of hardware using .Net Framework and further process it using hash-function. The preliminary results reveal that standard facilities of .Net Framework and programming language C# allows gathering information from hardware in simple way. Thus, as a result of research the special software for getting protection code was developed.
