GenuineDoc today announces the availability of GenuineFile, a Windows based software that allows protecting copyright and verifying integrity of any digital records. The software introduces something similar to barcode for digital goods.
(PRWEB) May 26, 2004 -- GenuineFile works by creating a unique fingerprint of each file that it puts under protection. This fingerprint is added to GenuineFile database at http://www.genuinefile.com, together with information who created the fingerprint and when. When the same file is queried again, the software calculates the fingerprint again and uses it as a key to retrieve information about the author and creation date from GenuineFile database. Thus, an author of any original work can create a fingerprint of his or her work and be able to prove at a later time that he or she was first to access that work.
"GenuineFile introduces something like barcode in the digital world. Every file can be given a unique fingerprint, or a cryptographic hash, as tech people would say. Like ordinary barcode carries information about the manufacturer and the product, the file fingerprint carries information about the author of the file and the time it was registered in the GenuineFile database", said Tony Churyumoff, founder of GenuineDoc.
GenuineFile installs as Windows Explorer shell extension, which makes all actions available from right-click menu. The software runs on all current versions of Windows and is distributed free of charge.
Applications of GenuineFile include:
- copyright protection
- verifying integrity of downloaded files
- virus protection
