Nero, the company behind the world-famous Nero Burning Rom suite, has announced its SecurDisc data protection technology. The company has called it 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 technology provides several layers of data protection to users.
SecurDisc 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 and authenticates the origin of data through digital signature verification.
"SecurDisc is a breakthrough in that it provides the first secure means to use optical disc media for the sharing of confidential data," said Udo Eberlein, COO of Nero AG. "We envision this new flexibility and security for data distribution to be of immediate interest to many companies, organizations and individuals. It also provides us with another powerful means to create additional partnerships in the digital media space."
SecurDisc supports CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM media, and is supported by the Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. The benefits of this technology are realized with CD and DVD media authored via SecurDisc-certified devices and carry the SecurDisc logo.
