SAY GOODBYE TO MULTIMEDIA AUTHORING IN A SANDBOX--MEDIAFORGE ENTERPRISE 5.0 BEGINS SHIPPING.

With over 30 million runtimes distributed world wide, MediaForge 5.0 now includes support for Digital Signatures of compiled projects.

Draper, Utah—With security becoming a high priority in the distribution of digital media, XMLAuthor Inc. steps forward with the release of MediaForge Enterprise 5.0 and MediaForge Digital Certificate.

In a world of super distribution networks, the need for identification, authentication, security and certification has become highly important. There are two fundamental philosophies regarding distributed application security:

1. The Sandbox, where the developer is restricted in what activities his application can perform. For example, JavaScript running in a browser cannot be used to write to an end users hard disk. Other products that use the Sandbox approach include JavaScript, Java, Flash, Macromedia Director and of course HTML.

2. Digital Signatures that provide users with an assurance that the application was developed by a trusted and identifiable source. Examples include ActiveX controls, Automation Dlls and even application .EXE files. Digital Signatures assure that a product is authentic and has not been tampered with. Companies such and Verisign and Microsoft act as Certificate Authorities and monitor and administrate Digital Signatures.

XMLAuthor has elected to use both solutions in MediaForge Enterprise 5.0. MediaForge is in every sense a programmers authoring tool. Although the object oriented, background scene metaphor makes authoring in MediaForge easy, it is loaded with advanced features for use by experienced programmers. As a result, MediaForge is being used to create solid applications in a variety of industries. These applications, by their very nature, must be unlimited in scope and activity. For MediaForge Enterprise 5.0 itself, the Digital Signature approach to security has been adapted and directly integrated into the authoring environment. The Sandbox solution has been reserved for end user authoring applications that generate MediaForge projects. Examples include scrapbooking products built with MediaForge and distributed in every craft store in America.

MediaForge is a mature highly awarded authoring tool with a track record of world class applications built by MediaForge customers and partners.
