Revoke document access with DRM security
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, Ebook DRM, PDF SecurityDocument Revocation & Expiry. Document revocation is an important step in the information architecture coming somewhere between security and disposal. You can either revoke documents automatically using document expiry controls, or manually by suspending users, documents, or individual user access to specific document(s).
Why lock documents to specific devices, countries, IPs?
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF SecurityLocking Documents for IPR control Although one of the primary requirements in PDF DRM (Digital Rights Management) is to identify the authorized user of a document, and make sure that only that person can use protected documents, it is relatively difficult to identify people, and although the IT industry has been working on improving the […]
Document Security Solutions – Encryption, DLP, ERM, IRM, DRM
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF SecurityChoosing the right Document Security. Abraham Maslow said in 1966, “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” And that is disturbingly true for most of us – especially product manufacturers who want to sell the security silver bullet (aka […]
DRM, Copyright Protection and the DMCA
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, Ebook DRM, PDF SecurityDRM & the Protection of digital information. Who says lightning never strikes twice in the same place? They are wrong. On the same day it is reported that HP have included new Digital Rights Management (DRM) in their printers to make them refuse to work with ‘foreign’ cartridges, and Claims are made that DRM restrictions […]
Offline Use of Documents with Locklizard PDF DRM
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF SecurityDRM Offline Protection: the importance of offline access for document DRM. Whenever something on the computer stops working it’s always the fault of the provider of the end user application. And if DRM controls are present any failure is bound to be the fault of the evil DRM provider regardless of the facts.
Document Watermarking
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF SecurityWatermarks for document security. Watermarking is quite an old technique, appearing to start in the 13th century when it identified the papermaker or the trade guild manufacturing the paper. So right from the beginning it was about preventing forgery and identifying the source of the paper. The Gutenberg Bible was watermarked.
Document Expiry using DRM controls
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF SecurityUsing DRM to expire documents At the risk of stating the obvious, not all PDF documents are supposed to last forever. It would be nice if books, fiction or non-fiction, had that ability. But many historic works have been lost for all time because the library they were in was burned down (this problem still […]
Selling PDF books, files, documents online with DRM copy protection
in Blog, Document Security, DRMUsing DRM to protect PDFs sold online. Selling PDF books, files and documents online has obvious advantages. You can cut costs (no more printed copies to produce and distribute), help save the environment (no more paper), save time (distribution handled automatically by an ecommerce system), and reach new markets. The downside however is how do […]
Protecting & viewing multiple file types / document formats with DRM
in Blog, Document Security, DRMAre native applications an advantage for DRM protected documents? There are many DRM confidential content control systems available that appear, at least from the literature of their suppliers, to be able to apply DRM content control to many different types of files.
Ebook DRM and license transfer
in Blog, DRM, Ebook DRMSelling books in the digital age – are digital rights exhausting? In the physical (paper) world Copyright has gotten well established as to what the ground rules are when dealing with books. You sell a book. Well and good. In the USA and the EU (under different but similar law) the purchaser can sell the […]
Remote file deletion, document shredding & DRM
in Blog, Document Security, DRMCan you remotely delete files or shred documents? Thank goodness the DRM industry does not take itself too seriously. There’s nothing worse than a group of sanctimonious zealots letting off steam about control of books that you can or can’t read. Or is there?
The (surp)rise of HTML5
in Blog, Document Security, DRM, PDF SecurityIs HTML5 going to take over the DRM world, or are more established formats such as PDF likely to prosper? Lately it seems that the DRM world has found HTML5 again, perhaps having tired of the various machinations of the XML world (a huge library of XML standard message formats is available at XML Standards […]
