C.D.I. Systems Announces the Official Release of AllRights - its Digital Rights Management Technology

Digital Rights Management solution protects premium content ...while enabling content owners to control customer privileges and to safeguard web resources against unauthorized access, redistribution and misuse.

JERUSALEM---August 7, 2003--C.D.I. Systems, a developer of e-publishing solutions, today announced the official release of their stand-alone DRM application – AllRights (http://www.allrights-drm.com).

“AllRights is a robust “stand-alone” Digital Rights Management solution that protects premium content in a standard web browser with a high level of granularity, while enabling content owners to control customer privileges and to safeguard web resources against unauthorized access, redistribution and misuse” said Itzhak Levit, CEO of C.D.I. Systems. “For publishers, and other owners of premium content, the World Wide Web has opened up new ways to reach customers. However this new approach brings with it the need to secure their valuable content once it is uploaded to the Web.”

AllRights incorporates a thin, but highly secure, browser-based approach to assign security controls to specific customers and on individual resources, such as scripts, style sheets, images, web pages, directories, etc. Standard browsing functions like viewing, printing, copying, saving or screen capturing can be independently granted or denied. Furthermore, these controlled functions can be set for a limited time, for example the capability of viewing a document for only 30 seconds prior to purchase.

Another important aspect of AllRights, as opposed to competitive products, is that no cumbersome installation is required which interferes with the end-users experience when searching for needed content. The DRM functionality is initiated, automatically, only when an end-user attempts to perform any unauthorized functions or accesses – for example, in the case where a user attempts to save a document when his privileges allow him to only view it online.

Earlier this year C.D.I. Systems announced the signing of an OEM agreement with Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN). C.D.I. Systems provided Aladdin with its Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology for the protection of digital content. The DRM technology from C.D.I. Systems was incorporated into Aladdin’s HASP DocSeal, a product based on their proven HASP security key hardware.
