Secure
Image, a program that is the culmination of research by Art
Dept artists and Tonny Espeset, author of "Kickass
Java", is now available for download and
demonstration.
Secure Image
introduces to the Internet image encryption and Domain Lock
within a Java applet. Instead of placing a normal image onto
the html page, the image is first encrypted for insertion into
a viewer. It is the applet viewer that sits on the page
replacing the image. The encrypted image is unusable unless
displayed from its viewer. It is only the encrypted images
that are uploaded to the server, so the master images are safe
from everyone, including webmasters.
Secure Image can be used to protect images when displayed on a
web page on the web, from a CD, or even when sending the page
by email. Aside from the normal limitations of transmitting
files via email, there are no limitations to the file size or
number of images displayed when using this software. When a
visitor downloads the first protected image from your site,
the Java support files (12k) are also downloaded but are
served from cache for the next image and revisits.
Secure Image will prevent direct saving, right mouse saving,
direct downloading and bandwidth theft. Options include
targeted hyperlink on the image, status bar and image settings
for downloading messages and border frames.
