I have read this entire rooms comments in regards to protecting ones images or softwares and other types of intellectual property. I have but 2 things to say........
First:
Encryption of a website does not make it full proof from prying eyes... Encryption is only a bandaid for the person creating such a site. Makes one feel that they are safe and secure from anyone attempting to view the src of an image or a software or code.
Second:
Most importantly and above all else.
For those who do encrypt websites or anything that requires encryption. If one is trying to hide something from someones eyes, it can't be done. Someone much smarter then myself or who ever is trying to hide anything is bound to become interested in "
How did it work" If they are inclind to do all it takes to decrypt a website or any image then why encrypt it? Would it not be better to just leave the code as is and then have a hard copy of the right to use or show or even prove the files are yours?
The key issue is: Is anything really copyrighted to the point that no one can ever use it no matter what laws are involved to keep it safe from those who will attempt to exploit the code or use it without your own knowledge?
Yes there are some things which encryption can be used effectively, but to say that it is a failsafe is like telling us the first time we put a man on the moon happened when in all actuality the first man on the moon was standing on desert ground made to appear like the moon, located in New Mexico. But as soon as mankind found out how to put a man on the moon we sure did eventually.
Basically I say do not encrypt a webpage because if I want to see how the code was created, I will learn all I would need to learn and then decrypt it just to say that I could do it.
Why banter over something that somewhere, someone will be able to undo?
Instead have the sense to know that your attempt may be for your own security, but on the internet there is no such thing as the best mouse trap.
