Adobe is committed to security. Continuously investing in protecting content, eliminating vulnerabilities, and preventing exploitations is a top priority. We have developed innovative ways to protect your content, including, for example, stream encryption with RTMPE, SWF verification, and the ability to create custom security solutions using domain restriction, user authentication, unique key/token handshakes, and dynamic access control. These security measures are robust but still unobtrusive, intuitive, and convenient to consumers.
Security vulnerabilities are constantly evolving, so Adobe also actively works to ensure that customers are educated about how to properly protect their content.
