Introduction to Hardware Lock
A hardware lock, also known as a dongle or hardware-based security key, is a physical device used to enforce software licensing and prevent unauthorized use or piracy. Typically connected via USB, parallel port, or other interfaces, the hardware lock must be present on a system for the associated software to run. It contains unique identifiers or encryption keys that the software checks for authentication.
Hardware locks offer a higher level of security compared to software-only protection mechanisms, as they are more difficult to duplicate or tamper with. They are commonly used in industries where intellectual property protection is critical, such as CAD software, video editing suites, and enterprise applications.
With advancements in cybersecurity, hardware locks have evolved to include features such as cryptographic processing, remote access control, and integration with modern authentication methods like two-factor authentication (2FA) or biometric security.
