Brian & Intel Investors - Intel Announces New Software Security Feature . "Intel Software Integrity System Enhances Secure Online Distribution of Music, Documents, Video and Books System Includes Patented Tamper-Resistant Software" Paul {============================} biz.yahoo.com Tuesday November 9, 11:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Intel Software Integrity System Enhances Secure Online Distribution of Music, Documents, Video and Books System Includes Patented Tamper-Resistant Software HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1999--Intel Corporation today introduced the Intel® Software Integrity System, a software solution designed to enhance the secure online distribution of premium digital content, such as music, video, documents and books. Designed for developers of content distribution platforms, the Intel Software Integrity System is distinguished by Intel's patented tamper-resistant software technology. The technology hides critical code, keys and other secrets from observation, and detects attempts to break security mechanisms. The system is also capable of renewing the security mechanisms at intervals selected by the content distributors. Persistent content protection is assured from the time content is requested by users until it is rendered on PCs or loaded on dedicated media players such as portable music players or e-book readers. The Intel Software Integrity System is a flexible solution. It can be used on distribution platforms for music, documents and video sent as both streaming and downloaded content. It supports a variety of content commerce models, including subscription, purchase and rental. Solutions for the Internet Economy Developing new Internet services such as the Intel Software Integrity System is part of Intel's role as a leading building block supplier to the Internet economy. ''With persistent, renewable and flexible protection, the Internet can become a more secure way for content providers to deliver premium content,'' said Ronald J. Whittier, senior vice president and general manager of Intel Content Services. ''The Intel Software Integrity System will help give content providers greater confidence to expand the selection of digital goods they deliver over the Web.''

''The Intel Software Integrity System allowed us to get to market with a world-class security solution that protects the rights of musicians and music publishers while providing a great user experience,'' said Vincent Pluvinage, president and chief executive officer of Preview Systems. EMI Recorded Music has selected Preview Systems as its recommended technology provider for the secure electronic delivery of music. ''Content protection provided by the Intel Software Integrity System was a key factor in our selection of the Preview Systems digital distribution platform,'' said Jay Samit, senior vice president of New Media, EMI Recorded Music. ''The Intel solution enhances the protection of our rights and the rights of our artists, and give us greater confidence to make our content available to consumers through this exciting new channel.'' SoftLock.com, Inc., a leading e-commerce vendor enabling the secure merchandising of valuable digital content, also announced that it will integrate the Intel Software Integrity System into its SoftLock CyberSales Solution. ''Intel's content protection system is unique and will improve and extend the SoftLock CyberSales Solution's already impressive security capability,'' said Keith Loris, president and chief executive officer of SoftLock.com.
