Flash File Encryption

Amayeta has released SWF Encrypt 4.0, an obfuscation tool for protecting and securing Windows-based Flash files created with Amayeta's Flash ActionScript Code.

ActionScript is a scripting language for building Adobe Flash movies and applications (SWF Files). Since there is no native protection, the contents of SWF files can be viewed using Flash Decompiler Tools. These tools break open the resources that make up a SWF file and can display the full ActionScript Source Code. SWF Encrypt 4.0 shields ActionScript from Flash Decompilers and SWF hackers by encrypting and obfuscating the SWF whilst retaining its original functionality.

"The ActionScript in a Flash Movie is its most important asset" said Jaspal Sohal, Amayeta Founder and CEO, "Companies develop software in languages such as C++ and VB and go to great lengths to protect their source code. Why should ActionScript be any different? It's the first, and possibly only, choice for developing Rich Internet Applications. Flash Developers should have a means to protecting their code and SWF Encrypt 4.0 provides that option."

"Flash Components are an integral part of Flash and the Flash Development Community" said Simon Yang, Software Architect at Amayeta, "However they are notoriously time consuming to develop, yet notoriously simple to decompile. With some several thousand developers making a living from building Flash Components, it's essential their work is protected."

Mac OSX Editions are currently in development and planned for Q3 2007.
