d3crypt3d

Hey everyone! Our Beta v2 is now ready for testing. We would love for you all to check it out and give us any feedback you may have! http://d3crypt3d.net/downloadnow/

Long story short, that problem we had of stolen assets and an attempt at trying to solve it came out to be somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. The SXSW award ceremony, https://www.youtube.com/embed/3pbFpDqVZFM?ecver=2 (you can see it at the 57:00 mark), has been a years worth of work. We haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg, but we have something now. We posted up here first when we were tinkering with it. Some of you guys gave us great feedback. D3CRYPT3D Beta 2.0 comes out on 04/01/17. Beta v2 is way more complete and fixed a whole mess of problems that Beta v1 had. I'll be posting up all the new things involved with it. Thank you Nexus. This is where I would post up and learned a lot from this community. Please click the link below to sign up for the Beta! http://www.d3crypt3d.net/pressed/starthere/

Hey There! I want to thank everyone who has been keeping tabs on our product D3CRYPT3D. We have had many major developments occur in the past few months, one being nominated as finalists for the SXSW Innovation Awards. We were just at NASA Goddard Space Center this past week, which was an amazing experience! We will be releasing a major update that addresses many of your concerns with the software. We are SO EXCITED! We truly want to place power back into the creators hands and change the culture around digital content. It is not a simple copy and past function; it requires hours, days, and years to develop this craft. Please take a look at our article in Hypepotamus (Atlanta publication) about our updates and what will be coming soon. Also, keep an eye out during SXSW (3/11-3/15) for our major release! https://hypepotamus.com/companies/d3crypt3d/

Hey everybody, BIG NEWS! D3CRYPT3D has been chosen as a finalist for the SXSW 2017 Interactive Innovation Awards! We have been nominated in the category of Privacy & Security. My name is Chloe. Me and my team came up with D3CRYPT3D in response to the growing issue of artists getting their work pirated after spending countless hours and sweat equity into their work. The beta just launched over a week ago and we have been getting some fabulous responses with regards to improvements, features etc. Here is an updated explanation on how the software works. Please check it out http://www.fractalforums.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif Also, check out our feature on 3dprint.com and 3ders.org https://3dprint.com/153731/d3crypted-software-ip-protection/ http://www.3ders.org/articles/20161102-d3crypt3d-launches-accessible-3d-printable-file-encryption-to-fight-3d-asset-theft.html Why would I want to use D3CRYPT3D? You spend countless hours on your 3D creations. These files are sought after and worth real money. Your assets by nature need to change hands after they are created. Our New Build is up and wanted to say thanks to all those who have tried it. I will always post up here when there are changes to this program. Hope this helps you out. This is a more comprehensive explanation of how our program works. D3CRYPT3D utilizes AES-256 Bit cryptography to fully encrypt the 3D asset itself. During encryption, SHA-2 hashing is utilized to uniquely identify the asset and allow for tracking. Inside the encryption, identifying metrics are stored which allow for full tracking of the asset from the moment it is encrypted. These metrics remain with the .OBJ file after it is unencrypted. The metrics, however, remain in an encrypted form. D3CRYPT3D differs from Winzip and 7-zip in several ways: 1. There is no compression algorithm applied 2. The file type remains the same and can be opened in its native application, even in an encrypted state. 3. Asset tracking metrics are embedded in the encryption which allows for tracking throughout the lifecycle of the file. 4. The assets owner is identified by the calling card which gives the artist the ability to promote themselves and control their creations. When someone attempts to open the file, they are directed to the artist to contact them and request the access key. D3CRYPT3D allows you share your assets with authorized parties and gives you recourse should an asset become pirated or leaked. The purpose of the beta is to get feedback on vulnerabilities and suggestions on enhancements and feature additions. The first iteration of the software we release will initially be able to track down the source of a leak. The leak, however, will not be prevented. In our second iteration of the software, we plan to integrate with several 3D software programs as a plugin and control permissions on the files from inside the programs. In addition, we will introduce a multilayered encryption which is highly enhanced and requires information from multiple separate cloud-based servers in order to properly unencrypt the file. Without the plugin, you will not be able to unencrypt the file. After the file is unencrypted, what you can and can’t do with the file will be controlled based on the permissions granted by the owner. Down the line, we will introduce an encryption layer which will allow the file to remain in an encrypted state perpetually from the moment it is encrypted. This layer can then be integrated into gaming engines and 3D printers preventing the ripping of meshes from games while the assets are in play and preventing printing of unauthorized objects. If a person attempts to rip an asset, the resulting meshes will be unusable encrypted data. We realize this is a never-ending battle. Our solutions will be defeated every so often, but our talented programmers will quickly patch the software vulnerabilities further enhancing the product. Our cloud-based asset tracking and encryption will enable both artists and major corporate 3D asset holders to gain full transparency into the usage, dissemination, and proliferation of their assets in a managed and controlled fashion allowing them to maximize profits and snuff out piracy. Our team has a deep and thorough knowledge of how data is stored and managed in Windows, Mac, and Pure Linux-based platforms such that we are able to architect systems and file structures in a manner which utilizes every functional aspect of a segment of data stored on a drive regardless of what platform the system is running. We are not complicit with any government body. We champion protecting our user's data and strive to create an environment where the creator of an asset is in full control of their digital 3D assets. D3CRYPT3D is by the artist, for the artist, and will always choose the artist first. We need your support and feedback to help us in the endeavor of protecting 3D assets worldwide. Too much genius work is being stolen and will continue to be without this intellectual property protection. It’s time for D3CRYTP3D to protect our hard earned creations. D3CRYPT3D.
