Abstract
Software piracy, which includes reproducing and distributing software products illegaly and

without authorization, continues to cause financial losses to software vendors. Dongles for hardware

protection have been present for a while now, but unfortunately, most of these solutions

were only effective for a short period, until these methods were circumvented and time has

showed that solutions that offer full protection from this phenomenon are impossible. In this

project, we focus on a hardware copy protection scheme based on dongles and we take the current

state-of-the-art in this area to a higher level. We provide a Highly Secure Software Copy

Protection scheme and our contribution consists of the ability of the dongle to execute a selected

part of the software inside the trusted environment in a dongle. This way, an attacker will never

have the full software available on the host, which makes reverse-engineering of it more difficult.

Additionaly, I provide a threat model and security analysis for this mechanism. Finally, I attach

parts of some algorithms I created for the Code Preprocessing, Analysis and Extraction.
