Can a SureSign fingerprint be easily removed by a pirate or hacker?
No. It is impractical to try to remove a fingerprint from a file, since the considerable resources and time involved would, in most cases, be excessively disproportionate to the material’s commercial value. Trying to create a ‘pirate’ program to remove the fingerprint from an image would be pointless, since each image has a totally unique fingerprint structure. The permutation method used in SureSign is inherently secure and provides more options than are commonly utilised in either RSA or DES coding. Hacker programs that claim to remove a fingerprint, usually only render the underlying fingerprint data more difficult to read. Once an image is fingerprinted it is permanently changed and the fingerprint may still be recovered by ‘forensic’ means from images modified in this way. Back to Questions Section 3.
