An interface control document ( ICD) in systems engineering [1] and software engineering, provides a record of all interface information (such as drawings, diagrams, tables, and textual information) generated for a project. [2] The underlying interface documents provide the details and describe the interface or interfaces between subsystems or ...
Digital rights management ( DRM) is the management of legal access to digital content. Various tools or technological protection measures ( TPM ), [ 1] such as access control technologies, can restrict the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. [ 2] DRM technologies govern the use, modification and distribution of copyrighted works ...
A software design description (a.k.a. software design document or SDD; just design document; also Software Design Specification) is a representation of a software design that is to be used for recording design information, addressing various design concerns, and communicating that information to the design’s stakeholders.

Copy protection for computer software, especially for games, has been a long cat-and-mouse struggle between publishers and crackers.These were (and are) programmers who defeated copy protection on software as a hobby, add their alias to the title screen, and then distribute the "cracked" product to the network of warez BBSes or Internet sites that specialized in distributing unauthorized ...
v. t. e. Software design is the process of conceptualizing how a software system will work before it is implemented or modified. [ 1] Software design also refers to the direct result of the design process – the concepts of how the software will work which consists of both design documentation and undocumented concepts.
Computer-aided design ( CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. [1] : 3 This software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.
The documentation typically describes what is needed by the system user as well as requested properties of inputs and outputs (e.g. of the software system). A functional specification is the more technical response to a matching requirements document, e.g. the Product Requirements Document "PRD" [citation needed].
Software development. Software documentation is written text or illustration that accompanies computer software or is embedded in the source code. The documentation either explains how the software operates or how to use it, and may mean different things to people in different roles. Documentation is an important part of software engineering.
