ElcomSoft Vs. Adobe: How AEBPR Cracked Adobe's Acrobat E-Book Reader
Overview While some believe that products such as AEBPR open the door for widespread piracy of copyrighted e-book material, others believe that companies such as Elcomsoft are working in the interests of e-book publishers: by exposing inherent weaknesses in any security model, holes are able to be patched, security improved, and material ultimately better protected from piracy. Central to the debate is Adobe's Acrobat E-Book Reader security model, its use of encryption and plug-ins known as security handlers. This paper looks at this security model, and examines how a program such as AEPBR has been able to circumvent it.
