System and method for software protection and secure software distribution

A secure software distribution and execution system, comprising:

• a server into which a received software application from a service provider is stored;
• a client machine connectable to the server;
• the server having an application generator interface that codes the received software application, identifies sections of code for encryption, inserts calls in the received software application at appropriate places before being downloaded to the client machine by the server, builds an application and placing one or more binaries in the server;
• the server having an ID reader that reads an identity data of the client machine;
• the server having an algorithm generator that generates an algorithm for encryption, and decryption and a decryption key based on received identity data of the client machine in the server;
• the server having an encryptor that encrypts the identified sections of the received software application using the generated encryption algorithm in the server;
• the server having an application downloader that downloads the encrypted sections of the received software application along with the generated decryption key and the decryption algorithm to a driver of the client machine;
• and
• wherein the identity data includes the serial number of the client machine, serial number of the hard disc used in the client machine, biometric data and other identity related information provided by the client.

• and
• wherein the server assigns weighting factors to each of the identity data read from the client machine so that the client machine is authenticated to decode the encrypted section, even when the identification component is changed in the client machine.
