Cryptographic mechanisms for software setup using token-based two-factor authentication

摘要

A method and system for authenticating software licenses of a software includes a request for a software authentication received from one or more software subscribers and one or more electronic licenses distributed between one or more software vendors and the one or more software subscribers. Further, one or more tokens are validated through an authentication engine at a delivery packet delivered to the software subscriber. A license key associated with each validated token is generated and distributed through a licensing engine. The software is initiated to be enabled through the license key.
