Abstract:
The invention provides a method, a hardware circuit and a hardware device for enabling a software application to be executed on a hardware device in dependence of the hardware circuit, while preventing the execution of a binary copy of the application in another hardware device. Challenge data originating from the software application is input to a hardware circuit of the hardware device, wherein the hardware circuit is configured to perform a deterministic function. Response data is generated by the hardware device, which is used to manipulate at least a part of the software application to thereby enable the software application to be executed.

Claim (Index 13):
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions of a software application encoded thereon which, when being executed by a processor, are adapted to manipulate at least a part of the software application to thereby enable the software application to be executed on a hardware device in dependence of a hardware circuit in the hardware device, by using response data that is generated using a deterministic function in the hardware circuit that uses challenge data as input to the function, wherein the challenge data originates from the software application, wherein the software application is an encrypted software application, the challenge data comprises at least a part of a software image of the software application, and the software application is arranged to use the response data as a decryption key to decrypt at least a part of the encrypted software application.
