hi erki, you could chop your data stored on that drive into pseudo random parts. it must be a way which makes it very very hard to compose all parts together in order to "understand" the meaning of that data. but actually i do not have any idea for the copying problem, maybe there are some interrupts where you can handle and prevent this in case someone wants to copy without permition. but this will go deep into assembler code i guess. best regards, andre Am 09.04.2012 10:41, schrieb Erki Männiste:
I am developing a software that is going to be distributed to end-users on usb sticks. The application and the content will be stored on that device and the content will be stored in a one-file sqlCE database, it will be crypted by default and will be encrypted by the application on-the-fly. My client has made it clear, that he wants to keep end-users from copying the content and using it on any other device but that very stick. Now, due to the offline requirement this is impossible to achive because i have to store the encryption key somewhere in the code and users are able to access the data while in unencrypted state. Can anybody recommend me any mechanism that i could apply, to make it more difficult for users to copy the content?
