The Application Challenge

To initiate a challenge, your application must perform the following steps:

  1. Generate a 32-bit random number.
  2. Select the index of the application secret you choose to challenge, and look up the actual application secret.
  3. Compute a message digest with the MD4 Message-Digest Algorithm supplied by RSA Data Security, Inc. For information about creating the algorithm input, see LS_CHALLDATA.
  4. Pass the algorithm output in the LS_CHALLDATA structure to the license system with a call to the LSRequest or the LSUpdate function.
