Why use KeySec?KeySec brings dongle logic, which has been used effectively for protecting software for a while now, into the worldof PDF document protection, in the most transparent way possible for the end-user.Anyone with a copy of Adobe® Acrobat® 5.0 and a SmartKey can use KeySec to protect one or more documents,making them accessible only when their encryption dongle is present in the system.This eliminates the need toinvent and remember one or more passwords, which can always be traced or stolen by unauthorized personnel.SmartKey’s USB version is also compact and easy to carry around: simply unplug it from your office or home PCto protect documents present in the system, making them inaccessible to potential hackers or snoopers.

This is just one of the possibilities offered by KeySec: by combining the protection system of Adobe® Acrobat® 5.0,Adobe® Acrobat® Approval® 5.0 or Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® with SmartKey’s functions, you can control your distribution of documents.This product actually sets the type of operations allowed on the document for those with or without a dongle:for example, you can allow anyone to view a certain file, while allowing only owners of a valid dongle to modify or print it.
