Abstract:
1. A security control method using a hardware security control device for controlling production of a software protection dongle, comprising steps of: detecting the security control device by a host; ending the production of the software protection dongle when the security control device is not detected; determining whether the security control device is authorized or valid by the host when the security control device is detected; starting production of the software protection dongle by a production tool if the security control device is authorized or valid; determining whether a number of dongle produced is greater than a number of dongle authorized; ending production of the software protection dongle if the number of the software protection dongle produced is greater than the authorized number; sending encrypted data to the security control device by the host, if the number of dongle produced is less than the number of dongle authorized; decrypting the received encrypted data by the security control device; returning the decrypted data to the host by the security control device; determining integrity of the decrypted data by the host; generating in-dongle data on the basis of the decrypted data by the host; burning the in-dongle data into the dongle with the production tool by the host to complete production of the software protection dongle.
