Abstract

A flexible antipiracy solution using various approaches to prevent piracy while preserving privacy is discussed. The best current approach is to encapsulate software inside hardware. A software-imitates-hardware approach is to encrypt the content and ship the key to the client site, which can then execute the software only if it has the proper keys. The Shield Approach is a flexible, privacy-preserving, antipiracy solution that ensures piracy prevention.
