Google Code Search Could Help Software DRM Suppliers Find New Business
-
CHICAGO, October 18, 2006 - Aladdin Knowledge
Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), the leader in Software DRM, identity management
and content security solutions, today announced that its market-leading
Aladdin HASP® software protection and licensing solution
protects software developers from those seeking to exploit the recently unveiled
Google™ Code Search in order to more quickly find software bugs, password
information and even proprietary code. Aladdin expects the new Google tool, which
provides a mix of both convenience and a potential threat, to serve as an additional
instigator in leading developers toward greater software protection.
-
The unique Envelope inside HASP stands as the strongest software protection tool
available, allowing developers to protect applications by "wrapping" them in a virtually
impenetrable shell within minutes. Aladdin technology prevents reverse engineering
and debugging of application code through strong encryption of software files and
powerful anti-debugging schemes - thwarting software attacks by wrapping files with
multiple, randomly-assembled layers of protection.
-
Because the HASP Envelope doesn't require changes to the source code, it's an ideal
protection solution that remains immune from attackers using tools such as Google
Code Search for basic searches for bugs and other vulnerable, proprietary code.
Despite this latest possible threat, Google remains positioned as one of the world's
top Web properties, offering innovative search technologies that connect millions
of people around the world with information every day.
-
"Aladdin HASP's powerful protection remains steadfast even with the introduction
of widely available tools, such as Google Code Search, that potentially make it
one step easier to attack the security of software," said Avi Barir, vice president
of Software Digital Rights Management at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Aladdin is
pleased to offer a valuable solution that continues to supply ultimate peace of
mind for software developers even in the wake of the latest available techniques
and tools for locating vulnerabilities."
