For those that know Alessandro, you’ll know that he’s been a man on a mission when it comes to Flash Lite and OMA DRM! Well he seems to have cracked the nut he’s been working on for some time now – protecting a SWF file with DRM inside a SIS file.

SIS files are installation packages for Symbian devices, and used by Flash mobile developers to wrap their Flash content in a way that allows it to be installed onto a Flash-compatible Symbian S60 device using the expected Symbian installation process. However, it can sometimes leave the actual SWF content that is loaded onto the device exposed to file browsing, copying and further distribution of the file.

Forward locking a file with OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) DRM 1.0 disables the ability to forward or copy the file, and so beign able to add this to your SWF content that resides inside a SIS installer file is a very useful tool to have up your sleeve.

Read about the process here. Love your work Biskero :)
