cristy | bebec40 | 2010-04-23 19:19:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 205 | <p>Most images, by design, are made to be viewed often and by many people. Web images, for example, may be viewed hundreds of times a day by a multitude of web vistors. However, in some cases, you may want to keep a particular image private so that only you or perhaps a select group of your friends or web visitors can view it. ImageMagick permits you to scramble your images such that unless someone knows your passphrase, they will be unable to view the original content.</p> |
cristy | 3ed852e | 2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 206 | |
| 207 | <p>You could use an <a href="http://www.wizards-toolkit.org/www/encipher.html">enciphering</a> utility to scramble your image but they typically scramble the entire file making it unrecognizable as an image format. With ImageMagick, only the pixels are scrambled. The scrambled image continues to be recognized as an image and will even display in your web page. However, the content appears as gibberish, nothing like the original content.</p> |

| 256 | href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard">AES</a> |
| 257 | cipher in cipher feedback mode. We use the passphrase to derive the cipher |
| 258 | key and the required nonce.</p> |
| 259 | |
| 260 | <p>Currently only ImageMagick can restore your enciphered image content. We |
| 261 | use a standard cipher and mode so other vendors are encouraged to support |
