2005-05-31: HexaLock to Launch its Virtual Digital Hologram (VDH) CD Copy Protection Technology at MediaTech Expo 2005

HexaLock 4th generation copy protection introduces a new advanced security element called Virtual Digital Hologram (VDH), which can be applied to both CD-R and CD-ROM discs. To date, CD media containing VDH technology have proven to be 100% resistant to all copying methods.

Basking Ridge, NJ – May 10, 2005, HexaLock, Ltd., a leader in CD copy protection and digital rights management solutions announced today that HexaLock’s 4th generation, Virtual Digital Hologram (VDH) copy protection technology will introduced at MediaTech Expo 2005 in Las Vegas, NV. VDH technology has been in use for the last year exclusively within the military and government sectors. To date, media containing VDH technology has proven to be 100% resistant to all copying methods known to HexaLock and its customers.

“The VDH security element is a digital hologram, formed by special bit patterns that provide a Hologram effect to the CD/DVD reading device, said Mr. Eyal Cohen, HexaLock CTO. “The VDH effect is not an optical hologram, however, this is a good model to help explain the way VDH works. By looking on an optical hologram from different angles, the human eye can see different views. If you take a picture of an optical hologram, the 3rd dimension disappears. The result is a 2D picture that represents the view from a specific angle. HexaLock VDH technology is very similar. When making a copy of an original protected disc the VDH pattern will disappear. Instead, a static bit pattern will appear. The HexaLock software will detect absence the VDH pattern and act accordingly.”

HexaLock’s 4th generation copy protection provides both outstanding resistance to copying software and equipment and also increased compatibility and performance with all tested hardware and software configurations.
