Overview
Piracy is the greatest threat facing the software and music industry today.
The software industry loses US$2.6 billion domestically and more than US$11 billion worldwide annually to piracy. (BSA Calls for Federal, Private Collaboration to Reduce Digital Piracy, 2002). The value of the global music pirate market is estimated to have risen slightly, from US$4.2 billion in 2000 to US$4.3 billion in 2001 (IFPI Music Piracy report, 2002).
AlFa technology protects intellectual e-property from illegal copying. Based on cryptographic algorithms, it can be used to protect software, music, books, any other e-property, as well as all forms of online commerce.
AlFa's main concern is to get a patent pending status.
AlFa technology is capable of coding a source file (exe, mpg, pdf, doc, etc.) so that it can only be decrypted by a user's private key. Since a private key is individual and sensitive to each user, the source file is thus "fingerprinted" with its owner's identity. If it is ever pirated, the original pirater can always be identified. Moreover, since private keys can be used in legal and business transactions, sharing them represents an enormous financial and legal risk to their owners (like sharing a credit card or car keys). Because keys cannot be shared and because a user's key is the only way to operate a user's program, Internet pirating, as we know it, will effectively end with AlFa technology.
NR Lab is searching for a partner or licensee to help bring AlFa technology to the global market and fight piracy. If you represent an experienced, qualified company interested in the market potential of AlFa technology, please send a message to info@nrlab.com.
