Protecting a CD from Everything!

[kcnychief]

Does anyone know of software that can be used to seal a CD, so it can't be copied or the files/folders can't be copied off of it using Windows Explorer? I think I used something in the past to protect my BartPE environment, but this needs to be able to work outside of that world.

An encrypted volume maybe?

Indeed, just figured it wouldn't hurt to ask 😉

A safebox. If you never give it out no one can copy it.



If you were so inclined you could build a PE, or VM environment to have the CD run in, with a security key based off system hardware, and a premade key for each CD.



We have a vendor who does this, so you cannot copy the CD, once installed on a machine a hardware change causes the install to stop functioning. And once the VM is setup on the PC, then the other encrypted contents of the disc can be read.

Yeah I know of that possibility as well, but it wouldn't quite work in the environment I need to use it as the machines are variable. The only constant are the people needing to access the information.
