Mad Doc® Software to Utilize
ECD Systems, Inc. Technology
Marstons
Mills, Mass. February 28, 2005-ECD Systems, the technology leader in
protecting valuable PC game assets during entire product life,
announced today that Mad Doc® Software, LLC has begun evaluation of
ECD’s production workstation, named the Security Authoring Workstation,
or SAW.
The SAW integrates the Digital
ArmorTM technology with an automated duplication system, allowing
design studios and publishers to automate in-house volume
production-quality discs that are each unique and forensically
traceable. In addition, the discs created by the SAW and protected with
Digital ArmorTM can be securely circulated without the risk of
unauthorized copies or hacking of the content. The SAW can also create
secure gold masters for replicators; each forensically unique for
end-product identification.
“I would highly recommend that anyone developing or publishing PC games
who seeks substantial improvement in security protection request an
evaluation of Digital Armor from ECD,” stated Dr. Ian Lane Davis, CEO
of Mad Doc Software. “Protection of assets in the design studio is just
as important as protection of the content with the consumer.”
