This Next Generation Cracking Defence is an important step for developers and the software industry in keeping their intellectual property safe on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. The new powerful element is named Metamorphosis and an addition to SecuROM's™ existing copy control solution. One year later and again at the industry's most important annual gathering place, the E3, SecuROM™ will present a new sophisticated copy control feature. To continue to stay ahead of piracy, SecuROM™ is taking security to the next level.
Sony DADC reports that since early 2002 discs equipped with SecuROM™ technology have been prevented from being copied 1:1. SecuROM's™ revolutionary security enhancement has also proven successful for its customers by preventing 1:1 copying. Providing more effective copy control than conventional systems with only one check at program start, SecuROM™ Trigger Functions allow game developers to program multiple and fully customisable authentication checks throughout the entire application. The technology behind this success is called Trigger Functions and was first presented to the industry by SecuROM™ at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3) in Los Angeles in 2002. Some further successful examples are 'Anno 1503' (Sunflowers), 'Vietcong' (Take 2) and 'Gothic II' (JoWooD) which couldn't be cracked for five weeks. 'Silent Assassin' had reached number three in the charts in the second week. Three days of hard work gave us a crack-free sales window until 'Hitman 2. Lee Briggs, Security Manager at Eidos explains, ".It was fun to co-operate with Sony on the implementation of this new kind of protection. SecuROM™, a copy control solution developed at Sony DADC, has been able to offer unlike other copy control providers protection to their customers for many weeks. But there is hope for the games industry. Top games are often available on the web prior to their official street release. This new powerful generation of sophisticated copy protection is an important step for developers and the software industry in keeping their ideas safe on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM.
Sony DADC has announced the release of Metamorphosis - a new SecuROM™ encryption technology which will enhance SecuROM's™ capabilities as the most secure copy protection provider currently available.
