LICENSE AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267429 titled 'LICENSE AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for license authentication using registration information, public key encryption, and homomorphic encryption to generate a license ciphertext for a licensed terminal requesting license authentication.

  • Obtaining registration information from a licensed terminal, including a public key and a first environment ciphertext.
  • Generating license information with the first environment ciphertext, encrypting it with the public key, and then encrypting it in a homomorphic mode to obtain a license ciphertext.
  • Transmitting the license ciphertext to the licensed terminal for license authentication.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where secure license authentication is required, such as software licensing, digital content distribution, and access control systems.

Problems Solved

1. Ensuring secure license authentication for licensed terminals. 2. Protecting sensitive license information during transmission and storage.

Benefits

1. Enhanced security for license authentication processes. 2. Efficient and reliable license management for service providers. 3. Protection against unauthorized access to licensed services.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing License Authentication Method for Enhanced Security

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to license authentication methods using encryption techniques, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing license authentication methods in terms of security and efficiency?

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing methods, so it is unclear how this technology stacks up against current practices.

What are the potential limitations or vulnerabilities of this license authentication method that need to be addressed?

The patent application does not discuss any potential limitations or vulnerabilities of the proposed technology, leaving room for further exploration and analysis.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a license authentication method and apparatus, an electronic device, a system, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining registration information provided by a licensed terminal, wherein the registration information includes a public key and a first environment ciphertext provided by the licensed terminal, the first environment ciphertext is obtained after the licensed terminal encrypts the currently obtained first environment fingerprint by using a private key, and the first environment fingerprint includes the software and hardware feature information of an environment where the licensed terminal is located; generating license information comprising the first environment ciphertext, encrypting the license information by using the public key, and encrypting the encrypted license information in a homomorphic mode to obtain a license ciphertext indicating a license range of a service to be licensed for which the licensed terminal requests license authentication; and transmitting the license ciphertext to the licensed terminal.
