Nero sent out a press release this morning, announcing
their new SecurDisc technology. This new hardware/software solution offers features previously unavailable to optical storage media users
including the ability to prohit unauthorized access to data through password protection.
Nero, leaders in digital media
technology, today announced SecurDisc, the first solution for the access control and performance reliability of data stored on optical
media that allows it to be distributed and shared securely. The benefits of this technology are realized with CD and DVD media authored
via SecurDisc-certified devices and carry the SecurDisc logo. Nero is seeking to build a logo-certification program around its new format
with software and hardware vendors interested in distinguishing themselves in the marketplace by offering this technology to their
customers.
SecurDisc technology offers the following benefits that were previously unavailable to optical storage media
users:
prohibits unauthorized access to data through password protection
detects altered data on authored media through checksum
verification
increases performance and reliability through redundantly stored data
authenticates the origin of data through
digital signature verification
SecurDisc works with most CD and DVD formats and can be added to existing drives via a
firmware update. More information can be found on Nero's website.
