Can a SureSign watermark be easily removed by a pirate or hacker?
A. No. It is impractical to try to remove a watermark 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 watermark from an image would be pointless, since each image has a totally unique watermark 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 watermark, usually only render the underlying watermark data more difficult to read. Once an image is watermarked it is permanently changed and the watermark may still be recovered by ‘forensic’ means from images modified in this way.
