WebSphere Commerce customers can now leverage the built-in integration with FileOpen DRM to stop piracy and retain revenues from documents sold online.  The integration with IBM WebSphere Commerce provides full automation between the payment process, the issuing of document access and enforcement of document permissions.

The FileOpen WebSphere integration works by granting paying users access to purchased documents while denying privileges to those who have not purchased.  Additionally, the FileOpen Document Security Module enforces granular access controls such as document expiration, saving of local copies, and the imposition of user-specific watermarks.  From a paying user perspective, there is no interruption of service. In fact, with FileOpen's lightweight clients, paying users may not even be aware that documents are secured.  Documents open in standard document viewers, within a Web browser or in a native Android or iOS app.   Notwithstanding the ease-of-use, forwarded documents will not authenticate and cannot be viewed by unauthorized users. 

“The advantage of FileOpen Document Security is that it takes the headache out of selling documents online.  The document owner simply hosts the protected document on the Web store and can rest assured that only the paying user can access the document,” said Sanford Bingham, CEO & President, FileOpen Systems Inc.  “The integration allows publishers to focus on increasing sales, instead of wasting time manually setting permissions and keeping databases in sync.”     

Key Features: 

    • Control access: Apply local AES-256 bit encryption to protect documents from piracy.
    • Retain revenue: Stop the forwarding of documents — absolutely no unauthorized access.
    • Support mobility: Deliver documents securely to PCs, iPad, iPhone, and Android... instantly.
    • Enforce policy: Control how recipients use information even after delivery.
    • Monitor activity:  Track how often documents are used, by who.
