Share My Creation A library with a password

Hi everybody:
I am presenting the idea of protecting a developer library ( or any app) with a password.
I wrote a Latitude-Longitude library to find the distance, bearing, and midpoint, to a very high precision, between two geolocations in terms of their latitudes and longitudes.
Each function of the three is included in a sub as follows:

• DisBetweenLatLong(Lat1 As Double,Long1 As Double,Lat2 As Double,Long2 As Double) As Double
• BearingBetweenLatLon(Lat1 As Double,Long1 As Double,Lat2 As Double,Long2 As Double) As Double
• MidPointBetweenLatLon(Lat1 As Double,Long1 As Double,Lat2 As Double,Long2 As Double) As Double()

Another function is taken from the forum (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/convert-latitude-longitude-strings-to-double.63413/):

• Util_convert_lat_long(Lat_long_string As String) As Double

Which will convert any positive or negative Latitude and Longitude value from string to double.
The library can be updated with any function.

A function called password that takes a string as a parameter will check for functions whether to be implemented or not as follows:

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Private ll As Latlong
End Sub
'
'
'
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    ll.password("xxxxxxxxxx")
    Log("Distance Between Cambridge and Bristol = " & ll.DisBetweenLatLong(52.2053,0.1218,51.4545,-2.5879))
    Log("Distance Between Bristol and Cambridge = " & ll.DisBetweenLatLong(51.4545,-2.5879,52.2053,0.1218))

    Log("Bearing Between Bristol and Cambridge = " & ll.BearingBetweenLatLon(52.2053,0.1218,51.4545,-2.5879))
    Log("Distance Between Cambridge and Bristol  = " &ll.BearingBetweenLatLon(51.4545,-2.5879,52.2053,0.1218))
  
    Dim coor(2) As Double
    coor= ll.MidPointBetweenLatLon(52.2053,0.1218,51.4545,-2.5879)
    Log("Lat of midpoint Between Cambridge and Bristol  = " & coor(0) )
    Log("Lon of midpoint Between Cambridge and Bristol  = " & coor(1) )
    coor=ll.MidpointBetweenLatLon(51.4545,-2.5879,52.2053,0.1218)
    Log("Lat of midpoint Between Bristol and Cambridge  = " & coor(0) )
    Log("Lon of midpoint Between Bristol and Cambridge   = " & coor(1) )

End Sub

So if the password "xxxxxxxxxxx" is the correct one, the user will be given access to the functions. The algorithm of password generator implies a string with a certain number and sequence of letters.

If the password is not correct, no function is carried out and a notice will appear in the log.

Anyone who puts a like and comments will be eligible to receive the library password by DM.
The source code can be purchased at $25 by PayPal

I'm afraid that you can't easily protect jar files. It took me only a couple of minutes to open the code and find the password (it's a 6 letter word but only the first three are actually used).

How did you achieve this high precision?

you can only obfuscate your Jar, there are techniques on how to do that, to make it difficult to understand the code.

your code (JD-GUI Tools):

and its precision is not high.

sorry,

It is the idea that matters. This code is not intended to show how to encrypt the app but to associate it with a password. I know that it is very easy to reach the code from the .jar file. but since It is not a challenge, I was way generous to share the code. I would have used a very sophisticated algorithm to generate the password but as I mentioned it is the idea that matters.

How do you measure precision in such case? What is the criterion? It sure is not a persona l opinion. I checked my results against that given by specialized websites.
Check in the following site:

I know about abfuscation but it was a friendly gesture to share the compiled library. The original code is written in b4x not the code generated by cavaj.

For you it might be the idea that matters. (And I'd say it's not a brand new idea to protect code with a password.) But it's the code you're selling for $25.

In all fairness, you're not sharing the compiled library. You're selling it - which is fine, obviously, but you're not sharing it.

A friendly note: You will most likely make more sales if you listen to input instead of going defensive.

It is brand new on this forum. I am selling the code not the compiled library and sharing the idea . The effort is worth more than this amount and this is the right place to share and sell as the heading tells.

 

[Sandman]

It is brand new on this forum.

Thankfully the world is bigger than this forum.

I wish you good luck, and with that I exit this thread.

Measuring the distance between two points on earth by using a sphere is not accurate and certainly not 'high precision'. You have to at least use a spheroid. I would measure the distance with an appropriate map projection of your region of interest. In your case, the projection should be 'OSGB 1936 / British National Grid' (EPSG:27700) but you could also use UTM Zone 30 North. The difference between your simple spherical calculation and the more accurate approach is more than 500 meters.

Simple: 204,047.79 m
Accurate: 204,550.62 m
Difference: 502.82 m

Well, I am very much interested in that and grateful for your generous reply. Thanks.

It took me only a couple of minutes to open the code and find the password (it's a 6 letter word but only the first three are actually used).

Well done, cavaj, but it is not the first three letters really.
