Ever think that maybe you should be using eBook security? That thought has occurred to a lot of people. Some have even taken action to help with making that happen. Most just think it over briefly, then dismiss the idea. Sometimes it is because they may have too much inertia to get started. Sometimes it’s because it is a big unknown. Still other times it’s because they do not know the various requirements.

Well, slow down here. Let’s look at this. Here’s 3 reasons why you should use ebook security that you might consider.

First and foremost, for the “Pro” side, I might explain that using eBook security allows you, the publisher, to control and track who exactly is accessing and reading your work. Okay, I acknowledge your objection, on the “Con” side, and I agree that you have a valid point if you say that eBook protection can be a huge pain for readers if it hinders their ability to access the document’s content. But I want to additionally point out that eBook security doesn’t have to be a pain for your readers. It can allow authorized readers (those who have paid to read the eBook) to easily access the content while providing you, the publisher, with complete control over the document’s accessibility .

The Vancouver Public Library (VPL) has seen a huge surge in the number of eBooks that are being loaned out to its readers. Currently, VPL has over 5,500 eBooks available for download, in both PDF and ePUB formats. Keep in mind that each eBook can only be loaned out to one person at a time, just like with hardcopy books.

However, unlike hardcopy books, these eBooks do not allow the reader to incur late fees because when an eBook is due to be returned, the file is automatically deleted from the reader’s computer.

It is important for VPL to maintain control over who has access to every eBook in order to prevent any copyright infringements. Legally, libraries can replicate copyrighted materials only to preserve or replace certain works, or to transform them for disabled readers. This means that a single copyrighted eBook cannot be reproduced and distributed to more than one person at a time. If libraries want to be able to lend out more than one copy of an eBook at any time, they must purchase more versions and not duplicate the one they already have.

By now we have all heard about the top secret US military documents pertaining to the Afghanistan war being leaked to WikiLeaks. More than 91,000 reports describing actions involving the US military’s actions between 2004 and 2010 were leaked to several major media outlets before being published online.

The moral and ethical implications of having these confidential documents leaked are not for us to surmise over, rather we are asking another question – how could the US military have prevented such a huge leak of internal confidential documentation?

The answer is astoundingly simple. With such sensitive information, the US military should have been using a PDF protection system that secured each document individually, requiring users to enter authorized credentials each time it was opened. We can only assume that the US military does use a document security system and we cannot comment on the security system they are employing, the nature of which is obviously confidential for security purposes. But what we can point out is that clearly there was a huge problem with it.

Computex Taipei 2010 has ended for the 30^th year and I got to see many great products.  Some products are on sale now while other products are concept, pre-commercial or about to head into production and will hit store shelves in the months ahead!

Let’s kick things off with a note about the next wave of mobile computing and our excitement at Vitrium Systems.  I wrote earlier this week that, “the PC is dead!”  That’s tough to say when there are over a billion personal computers in use.  Transformation is occurring with PC’s faster than ever before. Consider that it may be a combination of innovation, connectivity and the cloud!  Everything is heading into the cloud with the latest chips, improved power management, and increased functionality with better user interfaces.  So at Computex Taipei, I saw an explosion of new devices and new categories all rushing to market. It reminds me of Boujolais nouveau and the race to get the first bottles of the vintage to market.

A new document protection application has been released by Vitrium Systems at Computex Taipei.

Called protectedpdf, the new release extends customisable features to support web-site authorisation to documents and transparent watermarking, as well as a routine security update.

“Many publishers allow access to and distribution of documents through their web-sites,” said Vitrium CEO Peter Nieforth.

“Publishers now have a seamless way to protect documents that may be downloaded. The offline documents remain protected and controlled using protectedpdf embedded technology which always remains with the document.”

Another new feature is the ability to place transparent watermarks within documents. Previously, the watermarking facility in protectedpdf placed watermarks on top of the document text. With the new transparent watermark capability, users can place watermarks within the body of the document, with the watermark behind the text.

Protectedpdf is supported by Foxit Reader, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe Reader.
