STR3EM Begins Worldwide Deployment Of UltraViolet-ready DAGNUS XQR-1 Authentication Server On Amazon Web Services EC2

Online, April 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - STR3EM announces a new addition to their line of universal-access tools with the launch of the DAGNUS Cross Query Referencing (XQR) server, providing flexible interoperability solutions for developers building universal-access digital products and services.

DAGNUS is the name of the authentication server component used as a connector between the KodeKey™ Rights Locker and vendor applications facilitating unit-based B2C and B2B digital commerce.
XQR-1 is built with STR3EM's stable-version 2.3 Java codebase and deployed on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 image distributed through Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service. The company's objective is to give businesses a way to control digital inventories sold to vendors reselling access rights to consumers by adopting a physical level distribution chain.

XQR-1 works exclusively with the KodeKey digital token, which never expires and is connected to the digital products and services delivered to consumers. The KodeKey Rights Locker synchronizes users' rights between the vendor-distributed applications and XQR-1 servers in order to deliver universal access to products through an expansive ecosystem comprising content delivery networks and Internet streaming services.

XQR-1 can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with other rights locker registry services through two operational modes:

Widget Mode is a Web box component with a KodeKey entry field enhanced by Login with Facebook® and connected to over 600 million registered users. Example code is provided to developers, demonstrating how to construct universal access products using XQR-1 with Microsoft's Windows Media DRM 10 and Silverlight with PlayReady technologies.

Server Mode is a WSDL cross-messaging interface for KodeKey registration and authentication calls connected to back-end services of a developer's application. Server Mode (only) can register and authenticate KodeKeys with alternative user ID systems from Google, Amazon, PayPal and DECE UltraViolet.

XQR-1 is designed to operate as a front-end multiplatform access monitor for:

Desktop applications

Video games

DVD and Blu-ray digital copies

WMDRM, Silverlight PlayReady and other DRM technologies

Internet services

Consumer electronics

Automobiles
