Weizmann Prof. Joins Fight
Against Computer Crime
REHOVOT — A Weiz-
mann Institute professor
has developed a system that
he says will provide com-
puter program manufactur-
ers with a cheap, highly ef-
fective "lock" and prevent
the theft of their software by
enterprising "computer pi-
rates."
Last year, software pro-
gram production in the U.S.
alone generated over $1 bil-
lion in sales, according to
Prof. Adi Shamir, of the
Weizmann mathematics
department. As personal
home and business corn-
puters become increasingly
popular, a market is bur-
geoning for software disket-
tes — computer programs
inside pieces of plastic
shaped like 45 RPM records.
But program piracy based
on inexpensive blank dis-
kettes has become a popular
pastime with computer
hobbyists.
Prof. Shamir advocates
modification of the disc
drives used by software
companies so that the drive
will produce marginal
strength pulses in selected
locations in the program.
These pulses manifest
themselves by non-
deterthinistic behavior, i.e.,
sometimes they are read as
a zero and sometimes as
one.
While home computers
are designed to read
weak pulses, and thus
use the programs, they
are not equipped to in-
troduCe these weak
pulses into re-recordings.
Thus, any attempt to
copy the original diskette
will eliminate the weak
pulses and be detectable.
Should this situation be
detected by the com-
puter, it will refuse to
run.
This system will not only
protect software manufac-
turers from blatant theft,
but also provide a boon for
those wishing for only
limited — and consequently
inexpensive — use of a
given program.
Yeda Research and De-
velopment Co. Ltd. at the
Weizmann Institute of Sci-
ence has applied for patents
in regard to Prof. Shamir's
new method.

portrayed the character
"Jose Jimenez" on TV com-
edy shows, is Jewish.
