Dear all,
Assume that I have an application called "Generator", which generates some
output format, not necessarily XML. The output generated is going to be used
by the customer for uploading to a server. I cant change any part of the
application used by the customer, for example I cannot plugin an adapter of
decrypter etc in the file upload program used by the customer.
A strange requirement:- how can I make sure that the customer is using the
output generated from my application only for uploading to the server, but
the customer is not using for sending to another application or customer is
not sending as attachment through SMTP, or FTP etc etc ?
The purpose is that when I sell my Genrator tool, I want the customer to use
that tool only for the intended purpose of uploading to a server, and not
for anything else. How can I prevent from happening programmatically? If any
veterans there had seen such a scenario, please advise, thanks
Note that I cannot encrypt the output generated and decrypt later when the
client is uploading, since, I can't control or change any part of the
application used by the customer, thanks
Best regards,
Ravi
