When distributing a title on hard media, media authenticity is everything. Before any access to content is allowed, it is imperative to know the user is valid by possessing the original and not a copy.
Digital Armor utilizes patented methods for authenticating recordable and ROM discs that do not transfer in any copy, bit-for-bit or otherwise, and therefore renders those copies useless. This means that your assets are protected and not accessed or run until the media in the drive is confirmed as an original. Furthermore, you get to select the frequency and timing of the media authentication so you are in complete control of your users’ experience.
Low-volume distribution, such as duplication for preview/review, uses Digital Armor Enabled CD-Rs, which are purchased through ECD Systems, come in many brands, and can be used on modern burners. For high-volume distribution, ECD Systems makes available mastering services or works directly with your preferred replicators with hassle free licensing in implementing Digital Armor authentication technology. The value of Digital Armor security therefore can be harvested from your first physical one-off to your final commercial distribution.
