Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel

33 encryption

After the meal, Zhao Junsheng called me to the study alone. I knew that he must be looking for me on business.

Zhao Yanyan's mother also wisely dragged Zhao Yanyan to another house for some reason.

"Xiao Liu, after you left yesterday, the company held a special discussion meeting for your input method. Everyone thinks that your input method is quite promising, and there must be no problem in popularizing it. But have you ever thought about it? The software industry in country Z is different from that in foreign countries, and there is a serious problem in it." Zhao Junsheng frowned when he said this.

"Are you referring to pirated editions?" I immediately guessed what Zhao Junsheng was referring to. Pirated editions did not only exist in the 1990s. In my previous life, the problem of piracy was also quite serious, even much more serious than this time, and pirated software on the Internet was overwhelming.

"That's right! In the computer industry in country Z, copyright awareness is quite weak, including the WPS used by your Children's Palace, which I don't think is genuine." Zhao Junsheng said worriedly.

"Hehe, I've thought about this problem a long time ago, Uncle Zhao, we can encrypt the software!" I said the software protection measures I often saw in my previous life.

"Encryption? I've heard that each set of software comes with a manual. When the software is started, it will randomly ask what the number on a certain page in the manual is. If you enter the wrong number, the software will not run. What do you mean? Is it this?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

"Uncle Zhao, what you said is just one of them, and this encryption method is outdated!" I said.

"I think so. This does not achieve the purpose of encryption at all. Those who want to use the software only need to make a copy of the manual to use it. Even if the manual is not printed, people in the same unit can share a manual." Zhao Junsheng nodded and said, "Do you have a better idea?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhao, we can use the registration code to encrypt!" I said.

"Registration code? What is a registration code?" Zhao Junsheng asked strangely.

well! It seems that no one has used this method to encrypt software in 1994! So I explained: "What I mean is that if the same set of software is installed on different machines, different registration ID numbers will be generated according to the serial number of the main board of the machine, and we can calculate a password based on the ID number fed back by the customer. It is called the registration code, and the user can use the input method normally only after entering the corresponding registration code.”

"This idea is absolutely amazing! Xiao Liu, how did you come up with it?" Zhao Junsheng said excitedly. In his opinion, the originally complicated and headache problem was solved by me in a few words.

I shook my head, I was just telling my experience from my previous life, and it won't be long before this encryption method becomes popular all over the world.

"I just thought of it randomly!" I babbled.

"Just thinking of it? Xiao Liu, do you know that if we continue to develop this kind of encryption software, this encryption technology alone can sell for a lot of money! It seems that what I said is true, my daughter this time We have dug a gold mine!" Zhao Junsheng said happily.

Hand-typed novels, hand-typed novels, written novels,

"Hey." I smiled embarrassedly, I'm completely plagiarizing!

"I'll find someone to complete the encryption of the program?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

"Let me do it myself, after all, my own ideas are easier to realize!" It's not that I don't trust the programmers under Zhao Junsheng, but they have never done similar projects, and if the encryption they write is easy Let someone crack it, that's no joke.

"Okay, when will you be able to finish it? The sooner our software is launched, the better, and we will try to put it on the market before the end of the year including the approval time!" Zhao Junsheng asked.

"I don't have a computer at home. When I go to the Children's Palace on Sunday, I'll give it to you next Monday!" I said.

"What? You don't have a computer at home?" Zhao Junsheng said in surprise.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" I asked, what's all the fuss about, it's only strange for families who can afford computers in 1994.

"Your input method was compiled in the Children's Palace?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

"Yes!" I replied.

"Have you ever touched a computer before going to the Children's Palace?" Zhao Junsheng was even more surprised.

"No." I don't know how to answer, if I say I have contacted it, it will inevitably touch on the issue of my rebirth, but this is my secret, I don't want others to know. And I really haven't contacted him in this life, so I can't lie to him by answering like this.

"What!?" Zhao Junsheng's eyes were about to fall out this time, and he really didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng stabilized his emotions and said: "I finally know what a genius is. It seems that my Yan Yan is not good enough for you!"

"Uncle Zhao, please don't say that!" I felt ashamed.

"How about it, Xiao Liu. I'll give you the computer in my study. I don't need it at home anyway." Zhao Junsheng pointed to the computer on the desk.

"How can this work!" I quickly declined, knowing that a computer costs more than 10,000 to 20,000 at this time.

"Why can't this work? I didn't give it to you for free. You are also working for the company!" Zhao Junsheng pretended to be displeased.

"Okay!" I said. It's hard for me to refuse this kind of thing, after all, it's all for the company.

"Okay, I'll ask Lao Gao to take you back. It's getting late, and your family should be worried if you don't go back." Zhao Junsheng said and began to move the computer on the table.

"Let me do it." I took the monitor from Zhao Junsheng's hand.

Due to time constraints, Zhao Yanyan didn't try to keep me too much, but I could clearly feel the reluctance in her eyes.

Zhao Junsheng took me downstairs with the case in his arms and told Lao Gao to put everything in the trunk.

well! I started to worry again. There is an extra computer for no reason, how should I explain it when I go home?
