Montreal based UbiSoft Entertainment will start using Macrovision's SafeDisc copy protection technology on all their upcoming CD-ROM titles. The anti-hacking technology is designed to not only deter consumer copying, but to also thwart experienced hackers and commercial pirates.

If an unauthorized copy is loaded, the authentication software will no longer be able to find the digital signature, and the copy will not run. When a user inserts an original disc in a CD-ROM drive, the authentication software reads the digital signature, allowing the program to be decrypted and run normally.

The digital signature, which cannot be copied by CD recorders or mastering equipment, is embedded by the laser beam recorder at the time the CD-ROM master is made at the mastering/replication facility.
