In a press release, nero announces SecurDisc™, a new technology to protect data stored on optical media. SecurDisc™ technology offers the following benefits that were previously unavailable to optical storage media users:
- prohibits unauthorized access to data through password protection
- detects altered data on authored media through checksum verification
- increases performance and reliability through redundantly stored data
- authenticates the origin of data through digital signature verification
This data protection can be applied to the entire disc or to selected file/folders. Supported media include CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM. Moreover, the SecurDisc feature can be easily implemented in pre-existing optical storage devices by a firmware update.
