	Halfbakery: copy protection dongle
		"Dongle" in this sense, [bliss], is also known as a "hardware key," a physical device that you must install on one of the connectors of your computer in order to run a protected piece of software.
		These dongles are designed never to allow the code to be read, so you have to actually crack the chips open, which is substantially more different and requires specialized equipment.
		The biggest difficulty in designing a copy-protection dongle is making perform a function which varies in an unpredictable way with user data, but which is essential to a program's operation, and yet which does not require use of too large a data set.

	dongle - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		By 1993 almost all dongles passed data through transparently while monitoring for their particular magic codes (and combinations of status lines) with minimal if any interference with devices further down the line.
		In 1998, dongles and other copy protection systems are fairly uncommon for Microsoft Windows software but one engineer in a print and CADD bureau reports that their Macintosh computers typically run seven dongles: After Effects, Electric Image, two for Media 100, Ultimatte, Elastic Reality and CADD.
		Almost all dongles on the market today (1993) will pass data through the port and monitor for magic codes (and combinations of status lines) with minimal if any interference with devices further down the line -- this innovation was necessary to allow daisy-chained dongles for multiple pieces of software.

		The dongle would have to be quite small, as the system would have to be capable of supporting hundreds of them - Dallas Semiconductor's iButton looks like a promising technology for this.
		The dongle could be as simple as a read-only device containing a license key or as complex as the Dallas Semiconductor Java-Powered Cryptographic iButton, which could even provide the PC with portions of the application to be run.

	What is a Dongle?
		A dongle is a piece of hardware that attaches to a computer in order to make a piece of secured software run.
		As a result, consumer software that has incorporated a dongle has tended to have extremely reduced sales and ultimately to fail, or at least to flounder until the software manufacturer releases a new version without a dongle.
		This means that even if one were to fool the software into thinking the dongle were present, the software would literally be unable to run, since it would be missing key parts of its code.
