October 24, 2006

    HAMBURG, Germany, Oct. 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Today,
SYNCROSOFT, a provider of innovative DRM, Software and IP
Protection Solutions, announced it has signed a technology
licensing agreement with Microsoft Corp. that enables them
to integrate Syncrosoft's MCFACT(TM) Technology into future
products. 

    Syncrosoft's MCFACT Technology, which is the core of
Syncrosoft's IP and Software Protection Products, is used
to transform program code and data into finite automata.
The security of MCFACT is based on the known problem of
decomposing large finite automata. The MCFACT transformed
program code is able to process encrypted data without the
need to decrypt the data. That's the reason why MCFACT
protected data, processed in secured hardware or insecure
environments, is robust against software and hardware based
attacks. Syncrosoft's MCFACT Technology is applicable for
the protection of valuable algorithms, security
applications and sensitive data which should never be
exposed during processing or execution. 

    "Microsoft continues to innovate and license
technology that helps us achieve critical milestones and
drive opportunities for partners," said Amir
Majidimehr, Corporate Vice President, Consumer Media
Technology Group at Microsoft. "Syncrosoft's MCFACT
technology can provide additional robustness to further
improve the flow of content to Windows-based PCs and
connected devices."

    "This agreement with Microsoft represents a
landmark for SYNCROSOFT, as it acknowledges our MCFACT
technology to be particularly suitable for the protection
of some of the most valuable intellectual properties in the
technology industry." commented Wulf Harder and Bernd
Peeters, the founders of Syncrosoft. Thorsten Held,
Managing Director of Syncrosoft, added: "Microsoft is
committed to a long-term strategy of protecting IP through
innovative technologies and we are fully disposed to
support Microsoft in this area."
