LockLizard Flash Security Software Secures Flash Files Against Intellectual
Property Theft

Unique flash protection product released to protect SWF files from IPR theft -
LockLizard Flashguard Flash Security protects Adobe SWF flash files with
strong encryption and DRM controls to stop IPR pirates in their tracks.

AYRSHIRE, Scotland, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- LockLizard have released LockLizard
Flashguard Flash Security, their latest DRM product to secure Adobe shockwave
flash (swf) files.

Flashguard is a unique flash protection product allowing companies that
publish or sell Adobe flash files (SWF files) to ensure complete protection of
their intellectual property. It prevents decompiling of flash files and
controls what users can do with the displayed content.

Flashguard secures flash files against decompiling, unauthorized viewing,
copying, sharing, modifying, saving, screen grabbing and printing. The source
files (FLA files - multimedia objects, images and scripts that make up an SWF
file) are always protected against editing and misuse. It provides the usual
DRM controls such as setting an end date for the use of a file (useful if a
product is being rented rather than sold) and includes the ability to remove
licenses in real-time if the recipient is misusing the product.

Flash Player Security ensures your flash files cannot be compromised by other
applications, browser flaws, bugs, or the common Adobe flash security issues.

Flashguard is not an obfuscation product but a fully fledged Flash DRM
protection system. Obfuscation products don't actually encrypt source code,
they just alter the code and structure, often causing flash files to stop
functioning correctly or at all. Flashguard completely encrypts the source
code (with AES 256 bit encryption) preventing programs decompiling your SWF
files to FLA files. Your source code is not altered in any way - ensuring your
flash files continue working as before they were protected. In addition,
Flashguard controls who can view your flash files, how long or how many times
they can be viewed, and whether printing is allowed.

"The introduction of Flashguard allows many organizations that were previously
unwilling to commit their IPR into flash because of security concerns, to move
ahead," said Dr Mathews. "Many companies have realized the potential of flash
as an interactive medium, but have been afraid to publish content in this
format as there has been no means of protecting it. Now, more than ever
before, the new technologies have to earn their promise of lowering cost and
increasing profit. But without giving everything away."

LockLizard Flashguard Flash Security is priced from $2495 for a subscription
license. More information on securing flash can be found at
