New Legal Digital
Signature Software,
How often have you bought
software and, while installing it, been encouraged to
register the software electronically?
|
In this New Legal Digital Signature
Software case, you fill in a form, and the registration program will
then dial the software publisher and upload the
registration
information to the publisher. A couple of years ago, a company that
makes a widely used electronic registration tool received an award in a
New Legal Digital Signature Software operations conference. The
rationale for the award was that the tool facilitated software technical
support, because it transmitted information about the customer's
computer configuration as well as the information filled out by the
customer. This additional information will help a support person
troubleshoot your New Legal Digital Signature Software system, if
you call for help.

New Legal Digital
Signature Software,
programs can read your
private directory structure, registry files, etc., and transmit THAT
information, they can just as well also
transfer all of your PGP-related information.
|
If your New Legal Digital Signature
Software could be used like cash to order merchandise, someone will
use an electronic registration technique to get this information. It's
just a matter of time. Very few customers realize that, when they
register software
electronically (which is the normal and requested mode by many
software publishers), they might also be transmitting plenty of other
private information about themselves. A reasonable, prudent
non-security-expert would probably not recognize electronic registration
of retail software as a security risk. But it is. If a third party gains
access to the customer's key in this way, how will the customer prove
non-negligence? How will the customer ever come to realize that this was
the means of New Legal Digital Signature Software access?
