Cracking Microsoft's e-Book Code | |
|
||
| Time: 13:39 EST/18:39 GMT | News Source: Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

As reported in today's Wall Street Journal, Technology Review, MIT's Magazine of Innovation, reports that an anonymous programmer has found a way to decrypt Microsoft Reader e-books, adding fuel to the already hot digital rights debate. In a feature story, ``Breaking Microsoft's e-Book Code,'' published today on the magazine's website (www.technologyreview.com) author Wade Roush says that the decryption program enables purchasers of ``owner-exclusive'' Microsoft Reader titles - Microsoft's most highly protected form of e-book--to convert these titles to unencrypted files viewable on any Web browser. The program's creator, a U. S. cryptography expert who asked not to be identified, says he wanted to circumvent the ``two-persona'' limit, a rule built into Microsoft Reader at the behest of publishers that allows purchasers to read the same e-book on no more than two devices. | ||
