ABSTRACT:
A method for protecting an item of software, wherein at least one first challenge means is associated with said protected item of software, and at least one first response means accesses one private keying material. At least a third means (either challenge or response also exists). The first challenge means has no access to the said private keying material. The first response means proves to the first challenge means that the first response means has access to the private keying material. The first challenge means validates this proof using the public keying material that corresponds to the first response means' private keying material.
