I wrote LockImage to encrypt a scanned document that contains sensible data. For weeks I used winzip to compress it with a password protection. The problem was, that i had to remember always to delete the uncompressed file after usage. Since my document was classified high confidential, I thought about writing LockImage. It decrypts the image for viewing into the RAM. No temporary files are created on the hard disk. So once the viewer is closed, no traces are left back. So this is actually a real world case, where LockImage can help. If you want to encrypt several images or files, I recommend TrueCrypt. It supports real time encryption and decryption. Hi all

Deimos > I see, you must have a huge amount of images that you lock in a place. LOL! Well, there is one usage ( don't know it's useful or not ) to convert the image file to a password protected exe file, it's when you want to share it with a few friends via email or IM but don't want others to look at it when your friends store it in their computer. ameo > Oh, I don’t know that.

Blek, I would much prefer to keep my images file as image files. :D I don’t really see a need to lock up a few pictures here and there though. -_-

I'm just having one concern about it . image files extensions is the only thing that is free from viruses attacks , if i changed all the images i have into .exe I'll be screwed if my anti-virus was broken :) nice find , thanks for sharing it .
