The Alternatives

Secure Image vs CopySafe Web vs Copysafe PDF

The choice of using Secure Image or CopySafe Web depends on the level of protection desired and your viewing market.

While CopySafe Web offers the most secure protection from all avenues of copying and saving, it is supported in Windows only and cannot be viewed using Mac or Linux web browsers. Depending on what you are presenting, the rigorous security provided by CopySafe Web may be a deterrent to the receptiveness of your display. CopySafe Web is only recommended as the most secure solution as it safeguards from screen capture and Printscreen.

Secure Image cannot protect from screen capture but it is effective against the most common threats excluding screen capture and Printscreen.

One of the most annoying threats to intellectual property today is search engines and site grabbers. Google image search enables anyone to spider the web for images using keywords, and if an image is named appropriately (as most do because it makes for easy identification) all matches are given on a page of thumbnails with a direct link to the main image. Google is not the only search engine providing this service and our research shows that there are too many servers online dedicated to spidering and collecting images for intelligence, clip art and piracy.

There are also too many software programs designed specifically for grabbing complete web sites. Some will even publish your web site as document so that it can be read offline and distributed to others.

Both Secure Image and CopySafe Web use image encryption with domain lock which prevents the images from being displayed away from your web site. While domain lock will enable the same encrypted image to be used on several sites (your licensed sites) the recommended use by nominating only one site at the time of encryption which encrypts your licence key into the image itself.

While Secure Image does not protect from screen capture, it will prevent direct downloads of your images and it is viewable in ALL web browsers.

How does domain lock work? Our encrypted images cannot be viewed outside of our security applet which also checks for a licence key. The licence key is encrypted by algorithm and only the security applet knows the sequence. If the licence key does not match the web site that is displaying the image, no image is shown.

CopySafe PDF was specially designed to protect PDF documents from all methods of copy and reproduction. It is the only solution that will protect from all threats including Printscreen and screen capture.

• Images and text cannot be copied
• Optional password protection
