BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwire - August 8, 2007) - Arxan Technologies, a leading provider of IP
protection solutions designed to prevent software piracy and tampering, and
Uniloc, whose device locking technology provides enhanced user
authentication, today announced a technology partnership. Arxan has become
a member of the Uniloc Technology Partner Program, and Uniloc has joined
Arxan's family of technology partners.
Uniloc's softANCHOR™ node locking technology combines software-based
hardware identification technology with an activation component to provide
effective, customer friendly software copy protection. "Node locking is an
often overlooked cornerstone of an overall IP protection strategy," said
Brad Davis, Chief Operating Officer for Uniloc. "Whether in software
management or in DRM applications, binding software to a node is a critical
yet challenging problem."
"Protecting software against piracy demands a solution in many layers,
including protection of node locking, license management systems and
activation. Arxan's IP protection solution, through our GuardIT™ product, fortifies each individual layer
and then further binds each layer tightly within itself and the overall
application, ensuring that the software will remain secure and virtually
immune to piracy when deployed," said Mike Dager, CEO and Chairman of
Arxan.
"Arxan welcomes Uniloc's partnership program initiative which recognizes
this multi-layered need. This partnership facilitates the creation of a
highly interoperable ecosystem where independent software vendors (ISVs)
and enterprises can choose best of breed solutions to build a comprehensive
IP protection strategy best suited to their application security objectives
and business needs."
Arxan's GuardIT solution provides durable, comprehensive IP protection for
software, without adversely affecting application performance or end user
experience. Through an interconnected mesh of small security units called
Guards, which are scattered across a compiled binary and then dissolved
into the application, Arxan's protection deeply fortifies the overall
software product against piracy, tampering, reverse engineering or other
forms of attack.
About Uniloc USA
Uniloc USA is the technology leader in electronic physical device
recognition for software copy control and information security. The core
technology driving Uniloc innovation is Physical Device Fingerprinting, the
company's patented method of uniquely identifying a user device, such as a
PC, game console, smart phone or cell phone, by the naturally occurring,
inherent physical imperfections of that device, and then incorporating that
physical device fingerprint into licenses or access credentials. Uniloc's
technologies can identify devices with more comparable accuracy than human
DNA. Uniloc is the inventor and holder of the seminal physical device
locking patent (U.S. 5,490,216) and has 15 related patents pending. Uniloc
has applied its Physical Device Fingerprinting technical expertise to
several vertical markets, including software publishing, government network
access control, online banking and trading, and CD/DVD anti-theft. For
