What is Guardant?

Guardant is Latin for "safeguarding", "protecting".

Guardant software-hardware system has been designed to protect software against computer piracy - that is, against illegal copying and distribution, and unauthorized use.

In the heart of this protection system is a device called dongle. This is a relatively small electronic device attachable to a computer. Protected applications are bound to the information enclosed within the dongle.

How does Guardant Work?

Whereas protection methods are quite sophisticated and diverse, the operating principles of Guardant protection system can be outlined as follows:

  • A protected application calls the dongle that has to be attached to the computer.
  • The dongle returns certain information to the application.
  • This information allows the application to authenticate the dongle. If the dongle has correct parameters, the application continues running. In case the dongles parameters are incorrect (a wrong dongle), or if it is not attached at all, the protected application stops functioning.
