texte = Hi Guys, I have a DRM request from a client. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management We've talked about methods in which to distribute files securely lately, but is there any way to restrict viewing of a file per mac address? In other words, can it be made so that files are viewable from only one computer? I am thinking this is a bit too much security and the more appropriate steps are things such as password access to a .pdf etc.. but restricting the opening of a file to one specific machine is a request, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has done this. In theory, the mac address could be attained by a number of means.. but I think there would have to be some type of propriety file created that the customer would download. Then, when opened, it would first compare the embedded mac address that was created upon purchase from client input, to the existing mac address on the purchasers machine. I think the the request is a bit ridiculous, but thought I'd get comments, if any. This is probably a question better suited to another list, since the solution seems to be some kind of downloadable application layer around the file to be distributed. Is there a compression type that would compare a mac address perhaps? Thanks! Donovan -- Donovan Brooke Euca Design Center [Practical-Ethical-Efficient] www.euca.us egg.bz artglass-forum.com
