Google Code Search Could Help Software DRM Suppliers Find New Business
Share:
CHICAGO, Oct. 18 -- 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(TM) 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."
