Not so Mighty
Designing More User-friendly DRM
MightyWords Ex-R&D Manager Don MacAskill talks about the Security Design Behind eMatter . The key points are:
1. A user only has to unlock it once. If possible, pre-unlock it for them during the purchase process.
2. Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, and any flavor of Unix we could) (where is my Pocket PC?)
3. Useable across all devices a user possessed - desktops, laptops, and, we hoped, eventually handhelds, no extra purchase required for each device.
No additional downloads (plugins, etc)
4. Acrobat 3.01 with JavaScript (not the then-new 5.0 or the myriad of confusing 4.0x releases) as the lowest required version, with at least the ability to inform Acrobat 3.0 users without JavaScript that they needed to upgrade.
5. Users were not only able to print, but were encouraged to do so.
6. No unique/difficult-to-remember IDs that could get lost and prevent a document from opening. Username & password is something everyone understands and remembers.
