=========================================================    

THE DEMOS

The install includes info for Secure Image 2.1, Pro and the Free version. The three programs have different applications and limitations:

Secure Image 2.2 - FREE version

2.2 is a specially compiled lite version of 2.1 for free use on home pages and non-commercial  sites. It enjoys all the features found in 2.1 except those needed for commercial use such as batch file import and processing, multi-domain registry for the Domain Lock.

Secure Image 2.1

2.1 is compiled to the latest Java and therefore most efficient. It is fast loading as today's Java naturally supports encryption. The later Java is supported on PC browsers from version 4.1 and later. Less than 2% of the net traffic not supported by v2 series are the Mac users. 2.1 will import and batch save images, saving each image to a separate html page or all on the one page, for easy distribution to your existing pages.

Secure Image Pro

Pro has been written in the 1.0.2 Jdk - the first stable version of Java. Most apps today are using 1.1.5 and later. A lot of exciting stuff is produced but it is not fully supported. By using early Java the Pro encryption is supported in browsers as early as Netscape 3 on both PC and Mac platforms. Pro is also available in Mac format for converting images, and its batch processing is much more advanced in that the individual images can be be configured for different settings. Pro also has several options for displaying the image such swap image where two images can be used, text to image, image to text, plus the standard image target link.

While the Secure Image series was the first introduction of a suitable image protection system for the Internet and still is the most sophisticated, offering protection from all the normal methods of saving and copying, as a pure Java application it will not prevent screen capture. To prevent capture, man other sources and functions need to be controlled as the image, when downloaded to the visitor's browser, is stored in many places. Artistscope has pioneered this industry and has since developed an application that is safe from all avenues including screen capture, but to maintain security strict use and severe limitations apply to visitors... misadventure while viewing your images protected by CopySafe will cause discomfort.

CopySafe

CopySafe offers ultimate protection of Internet images and is the most secure system available today. It is safe from all copying, saving and capture. The system is very similar to Secure Image Pro but also utilizes the interaction of a special plugin to control browser functions while your page is visited. The plugin is a free download and available to all visitors viewing a CopySafe page. The system is regularly upgraded to keep abreast of new technology and any new threats should they arise in the future. Each time a visitor returns to your pages, their plugin version is checked, and if an upgrade is available they must accept the upgrade before viewing your content.

Link Protect

Link Protect can manage downloads of your pages and images, and protect their links from unauthorized use. If the call is not from within your site or an approved site, a customisable default image is displayed.  The links in your protected folder are undetectable and safe from searches and hack visits. You can specify domains from from which you will accept links such as your other sites or those of authorised associates. Any type of file can be protected with Link Protect - gif, jpg, avi, mpeg, zip, html, exe.

Zoom Image

Zoom Image is the most powerful and most advanced magnification applet available since iy was first introduced to the Internet with a 20:1 zoom factor. Left mouse button zooms in - right mouse button zooms out. Mouse pointing controls the direction of exploration within the image. Used to display quality high resolution JPG and GIF images.

Scroll Image

For exploring a window into a larger image. This new scrolling viewer displays a much larger image in a smaller window. With the use of the arrow keys or the mouse the image can be scrolled vertically and horizontally enabling selective viewing or a sense of mystery of any image. Ideal for walkthrough type displays and catalogue viewing. Scrolls vertically and horizontally to view a large image within a small window. Use the arrow keys to control the direction within the image.

ENCRYPTION

The most important area that image encryption protects is the downloading of the image by direct means after locating its path. Encrypted images are safe because the image files on the server cannot be viewed away from the user's web site. Nor can they be used from the Temporary Internet Folder or Cache. The files stored on the server are safe from your webmaster and server staff.
