What is Domain Lock?
Domain Lock prevents unauthorized use on other domains
Domain Lock is the process of ensuring that
web content can only be
displayed from a set domain. Domain Lock was first developed
in 1998 by ArtistScope for its image encryption solutions which even
to this day remain unparalleled.
How Domain Lock worksUsually the web content is encrypted to include a function for
comparing the site that is displaying the content to the site
that is mentioned in the function's scripting. If there is a
match then the content is displayed normally. Otherwise if
there is no match the content is protected by not displaying
or redirecting the user to another page.
How effective is Domain Lock?Domain Lock is the ideal solution for ensuring that content
removed/copied from a web site can only be viewable from a web
page on that web site, thus preventing saved or copied
versions from being used/viewed inappropriately.
How secure is Domain Lock?
Domain locking is only as secure as the content itself, and if
that content is not encoded or encrypted then the domain lock
function cab be easily modified or removed. For example, if
the content is JavaScript that has been encoded then it will
be the easiest to decode and manipulate.
If the content is Flash (.swf) then it needs to be encrypted
and then will only be as secure as the Flash encryption, which
by today's standards is NOT secure at all. Flash was never
designed to be secure, but rather was designed to be a popular
web page presentation tool.
Why our Domain Lock is truly secure
Secure Image Pro was specially designed to copy protect images
on web pages. Then Domain Lock was created to ensure that
those images could only be displayed on the nominated web
site. With our encrypted images key is embedded into
the image and not stored in an external file that can
downloaded or otherwise obtained.
ArtistScope encrypted images can only be decrypted by our
ActiveX and/or Java applets, depending on the user's platform,
which are 1,000 times more secure than JavaScript and Flash
encoding. In fact there is no risk at all because decompiling
will not yield an algorithm that can be used even with the
computer resources of NASA, and then only if the password is
known.
Our encrypted images are most secure while
stored on the web server... protected
from distribution even from your
employees, webmaster and staff who may have
access to the server.
