Image Encryption used on Web Pages
The process of encryption scrambles data in such a way
that the original information can only be recovered using a
corresponding decryption process and the correct key.
Encryption and decryption are common techniques in cryptography
and the scientific discipline behind secure communications.
Image Encryption
Image encryption is the most secure solution for storing images
on a web server. Encrypted images cannot be displayed without
first being decrypted otherwise they cannot be displayed,
making any images stored on a server not only secure from
unauthorized linking by the public, but they are also secure
from web hosting staff and your web master.
First developed by ArtistScope in 1998, Secure Image is the
only solution that will display encrypted images on a web page.
Encrypted images created by ArtistScope copy protection
solutions cannot be displayed in any image viewer except
ArtistScope's security viewer and then only from the owner's
web site. The keycode for decryption is embedded into the image
and when loaded, the security applet checks the keycode against
the url displaying the web site. If the encrypted image's
keycode does not match the web site, the image is not
displayed.
Encrypted images stored on your web site are safe from staff
and your web host. They are also safe from retrieval from
browser cache (temporary internet files) because the image in
cache is the encrypted version and not one that has been
decrypted. Only ArtistScope's security applet can decrypt the
image and it does that only while displaying it on an
authorized web site. The encrypted image is view only.
ArtistScope ensures that only licensed users can use the full
version of their image encryption programs by custom compiling
each program or order. License codes are not distributed.
Instead the keycodes are embedded into the compiled software,
ensuring that the technology is not distributed to hackers.
