Encryption and Dongles

Author: Wes Wilson

Posted: 2015-03-02 10:54:48   Link

We have a vertical market program that needs encryption and dongles.

So far we are looking at Refox and Chilkat.  Which one is better?  Is there another we should be looking at.

They want to secure their program with dongles.  Any advice?

Wes,

There are good ways to do it without either dongles or encryption simply using VFP. I wrote a class that I think is still on Leafe.com which binds the PC Chip ID along with the Hard Disk ID (Both unique) and then sends out an email to yourselves asking for a password to unlock the software. This password can be a "for life" or a limited time password or in fact a temporary trial password to evaluate the software and all in pure VFP with source code.

I'll see if it is still there and if not then reload it for you if you are interested.

Dave

Wes,

ChilKat will assist you with encrypting your data.

ReFox will encrypt the executable.

I have no experience with the ChilKat tools, or the use of security dongles.

I agree w/Dave - just you a SW protection scheme instead of a Physical Dongle. Truth be told - if Hackers want to - they can hack anything. Why pay for an overhead expense like a Physical Dongle - because - they can STILL be Hacked! Years ago - the main 3D SW I use - 3DS Max - they used to use Physical Dongles. But, in effect - it was pointless. At one point - they claim on the Internet was that 3DS Max was the MOST Pirated SW in the world. So - obviously - the expense of Dongle proved Fruitless for Autodesk. 

Just sayin'...
