Abstract: This invention prevents software from being reverse engineered. The random nature and multiple uses of atoms prevent the analysis of key processes within the software. If an attempt is made to try and duplicate or bypass the program and/or key processes, then this invention will cause the failure of the execution of the software code thereby preventing unauthorized release and/or execution of the code.

Abstract: Piracy is a growing concern for digital content and intellectual property holders. Prior art technology and Digital Rights Management (DRM) have failed to provide content holders with an effective solution. Too often, DRM is compromised within days of release offering little or no protection to content owners. This invention offers a unique process and/or method for protecting computer-readable media that is fast, efficient, and economical to implement, and can be implemented with all types of content. This invention provides the means to prevent piracy, copying, and unauthorized use of content on all computer-readable media (physical or memory-based).
