## TL;DR

This paper proposes a cost-effective RFID-based system to prevent software piracy by embedding RFID technology into DVD-ROMs, addressing a longstanding challenge in software security.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel RFID-based approach for DVD-ROMs to effectively thwart software piracy, filling a gap in existing security solutions.

## Key findings

- RFID technology can be integrated into DVD-ROMs for security.
- The proposed system offers a cost-effective piracy prevention method.
- Preliminary results indicate improved protection against unauthorized copying.

## Abstract

Software piracy has been a very perilous adversary of the software based industry, from the very beginning of the development of the latter into a significant business. There has been no developed foolproof system that has been developed to appropriately tackle this vile issue. We have in our scheme tried to develop a way to embark upon this problem using a very recently developed technology of RFID.
