Digital String Technology

What is a Digital String Technology?

Digital String Technology is a brand new and patent pending software protection scheme (property of Virginia-based Bluemont Software, Inc.). It is reflecting the present world, present business strategies and distributor’s demands regarding his investment protections. What is it? What is Digital String Technology?

Why to use the Digital String Technology?

The main idea of Digital String Technology patent-pending software protection is based on several breakthrough technologies and particularly visions.

Motto of the Digital String Technology

Software protected by Digital String Technology may be ordered by motto "Every single copy is original!"

Digital String Technology protects itself

There is no additional protection, software protected by Digital String Technology is protected by itself!

Protection mechanism of Digital String Technology

Protection mechanism of Digital String Technology is unknown to hackers / crackers / reverse engineers, because it is not physically present on distributed media at all when the disc is purchased! Customer gets a raw disc or a raw installation file which can’t be cracked, because simply there is nothing to be cracked!!!, if it is protected by Digital String Technology.

Digital String Technology every executable and to-be-protected file masters online for each computer and for each device remotely, differently (on binary basis) and then sent and integrated into the raw installation on customer’s device (computer, console, PDA, cell phone…).

Digital String Technology authorized only for one pc

Every authorized copy can run only on the authorized device. If copied and run on any other device, every authorized copy protected by Digital String Technology will result in an immediate crash and failure. Digital String Technology authorized copy can’t be physically run on any other (non-authorized) device.

Digital String Technology and requirments of Internet Connection

Though Digital String Technology requires a temporary internet connection (no matter what speed it is), Digital String Technology will also allow an alternative way of authorization not requiring an internet access. But let’s ask you something: “Do we really care about customers who can’t afford an internet connection for $19 per month or so? Do we really believe such customers are trustworthy? If someone can afford a $60 game a month (or more than one a month), do we really believe he can’t afford even the cheapest internet connection on the market (a dialup, for example…)??. If we have a computer, there’s an extremely high probability we also have an internet connection or just a possibility to get such service. The common complaint on ‘required internet connection’, claimed by some customers to be a kind of obstacle in decision whether to purchase a software product or not, is frankly ridiculous. Let’s imagine something else than a game, let’s say a very expensive software, a professional business application for several thousand dollars and a customer on the other hand who wants to use such software (and pay for that) but he’s claiming he doesn’t have any kind of internet connection… so, his business must be really poor! Yes, there is no reason to refrain from using internet based protections and there is a huge and big reason to rely and bet on our Digital String Technology.

Advantages of Digital String Technology

Our Digital String Technology doesn’t contain rootkits, spyware, DRM drivers, custom IDE/SATA drivers or any kind of security drivers which might compromise customer’s internet security or device stability.
Digital String Technology is upgradeable.
A huge and comprehensive digital right management NOT installed on customer’s device Digital String Technology offers, it means not penetrable by anyone!
All software programs and games may be protected by Digital String Technology without any adjustments and maintained and authorized thru an online internet access by distributor.
Huge opportunities for franchise and licensing policy. Digital String Technology may be licensed for a reasonable one-time or revolving price to small software companies or to the most competitive and big companies. Everyone can protect his product!
Digital String Technology also redefines what a ‘software copy’ is. Because when using this protection, there is no such term as ‘copy’ anymore but only originals remain!!
Customer has the right to change his authorization if his hardware has been changed or upgraded. In Digital String Technology there is an algorithm guarding a reasonable number of re-authorizations and system preventing customers from infringement on re-authorization rights.
So called ‘digital string’ may be stored whenever customers want. It may be recorded on CD-R or DVD-R medium, or it may be stored on customer’s hard drive or on a small flash USB disc or memory stick. Customers can carry their digital string because, let’s imagine, it works even like an authorization protection! If there is no digital string, there is nothing to be run on our device, there is nothing to be stolen from us or compromised… just think about it! Just think about corporations or government and military needs!
Digital String Technology targets all customers and Digital String Technology is an extremely strong protection technology but not offending or compromising customer’s security or privacy!
Why Starforce protection is being defeated in Europe? Because its protection mechanism is distributed along with every single distribution disc. It is heavily encrypted inside the disc but as soon as one of these copies is cracked, all of them are cracked!! Unlike Digital String Technology discs! Because if one of them is compromised, the other one has an absolutely different executable programming code and no crack, patch or loader will work for it. A potential and fantastically skilled cracker would have to re-program absolutely the entire application (ten thousands and ten thousands of assembler instructions) in order to make it run on any kind of device. It would take him a lot of months (better said years) of intensive reverse recoding, checking, verifying and further months of testing afterwards. We can say that our technology (Digital String Technology) will be Starforce’s true successor on the market.

Modes of Digital String Technology

Digital String Technology may use two protection modes.

Raidblock
Stratos

Digital String Technology - Raidblock

The first one is called “Raidblock” and this mode requires an internet connection just only once, for the first authorization. After this point, users don’t need an internet connection anymore (except of downloading updates and approved re-authorizations).

Digital String Technology - Stratos

The second protection based on Digital String Technology mode which can be chosen by distributor is called “Stratos”. When program is protected using this system, it has to be authorized by Digital String Technology server every time when program is launched. The protection mechanism embeded in protected files uses a cipher method which can be successfully resolved only when specific criteria are met but not static hardware ones, but some dynamic variables, for example a server time variable, current number of CPU ticks since user’s computer has been run etc. The main difference is that Stratos mode allows to run the client’s program only once OR when specific dynamic criteria are met. Authorized files RUN OUT as they are used or when terminated. All Digital String Technology characteristics remain untouched (can’t run copied files on another computer etc.) but the program needs a new online authorization every time when started! And such authorized files are binary different every time.

Why to use Stratos, mode of Digital String Technology?

Why this? Let’s imagine certain strategic purposes. When used by government agencies, corporations, army, navy or any other strategic partner who desperately need a high and secure protection, they will welcome Stratos scheme. In these cases, Stratos protection works more like a “super-firewall without a firewall” than a regular protection.

Digital String Technology may be used as a "FireWall"

When a hacker attacks some government computers and “accidentally” gets an access to them, he suddenly has an access to everything. It’s like a big house “full of great stuff to take” with a broken fence all around. But when it comes to Stratos Digital String Technology scheme, it’s like an empty house with no fence around, because there is nothing to be stolen from the house. All applications protected by Stratos are NOT physically present on owner’s computer at all times except of times when programs are run and used by an owner. When terminated, programs are lost and only their loaders remain there on the computer. Even when a hacker is skilled superiorly and can manage stealing programs when they are in use on the attacked computer, such programs can’t simply be run on his computer, and after all, they can’t work at all because criteria for running are not met and these criteria are necessary not only for running but also for decrypting authorized programs. And this encryption is different every time. When Stratos mode of Digital String Technology protection is used for all your important programs on your computer, in fact, you don’t need a firewall anymore.
