Secure
Image Pro is now available for Mac OS users to protect images
Artistscope
today released Secure
Image Pro for Mac OS users.
Mac users no longer need a PC to process their image
encryptions for use on the web.
Secure Image Pro is a security applet specially designed for
images. Unlike normal applets, the image paths and source file
locations are not given in the applet's parameters (html
view). Recommended as exemplary image protection for
photographers and advertising professionals, Pro uses Java 1
encryption to support Mac as well as PC visitors.
The protection options available in the software include
domain lock, targeted hyperlink on the image, and several
display options, status messages, picture frames, batch file
import and processing and multi-registry for use on several
domains. 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 all users
and viewers, including webmasters.
Secure Image can be used to protect images when displayed on a
web page online, or even when sending the page by email.
Notwithstanding the usual considerations of transmitting
attachments via email, there are no limitations to the file
size of the image displayed. 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.
Secure Image Pro for Mac OS program installs its own Java VM
to ensure compatibility across platforms.
A free
evaluation copy can be downloaded from Artistscope
for assurance before registration. To use Pro on the Internet
it must be registered to a web site to enable the domain
locking features of the images produced.
