Dec 25, 2024A: Hi Marcus,
Thank you for your question! Certyfile does include advanced security features for PDF documents, but let me clarify the specific functionalities:
1. Blockchain Certification: Certyfile ensures that any document shared through our platform is certified on the blockchain, providing immutable proof of authenticity and timestamping.
2. Tracking and Audit Trail: Certyfile provides tracking of document activity, so you can see when the document is accessed, viewed, or signed.
3. Copy and Download Protection: While Certyfile supports secure sharing, it does not currently offer built-in DRM (Digital Rights Management) features such as disabling copying or downloading of the shared document. Instead, the focus is on verifying and certifying documents' integrity and authenticity.
If your use case requires additional protection like disabling copying or downloading, we recommend complementing Certyfile with specialized DRM tools for maximum security.
Let us know if you'd like more details or a demo of how Certyfile can fit your specific needs.
Kind regards,
IltaphPLUSThis was exactly my question. I have world class training manuals that I want protected and was looking at DRM protection.
That has its own limitations and disadvantages.
Are there any specific DRM products that you know to be compatible with Certyfile and would recommend?
Without DRM, in my use case, your product is useless to me.
Regarding compatible DRM solutions, Certyfile is designed to work alongside other document management tools. Some DRM platforms we recommend exploring are: Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Digify or Vitrium Security. These tools can be used in tandem with Certyfile to combine blockchain-based certification with the level of DRM protection you require.
