Footnotes

  1. Secure Photos: My purpose is to protect my internet privacy by inserting "speed bumps" in front of applications that attempt to automatically harvest my photo and email address, while not making it difficult for a human reader of my site to access this data; unlike many others whose goal is to refuse to reveal their on line email address at all. My techniques are "good enough" to prevent a "typical" automated mass harvesting application from accessing this data. The above techniques camouflage my image from comparison with CCTV surveillance photos yet cannot stop my young grandchildren from easily identifying me. The camouflage is generally more effective when defending against searches through a mass database of photos as opposed to comparing against a known reference photo.
    • Similarly any human can easily read my distorted email watermark although admittedly there are some AI tools that can decipher it too. And admittedly there are applications that can automatically extract my email address directly from the QR code mailto halftone URL, but they also could have more easily extracted it by simply parsing the top line of my home page which uses the trivial textual description of my email address using the well-known "AT" and "DOT" notation hack. Additionally I have protected my email address against an automated HTML parse by inserting an embedded "hidden" CSS bogus email address which would likely trip up a typical automated harvester - see my site's HTML sources.
    • I camouflaged my photo using the FOSS GIMP blurring filters (i.e. "oilify" and "clothify") while overlaying the result with my "rippled" email address as a large visible watermark which I have strategically placed to obscure my nose tip and my nostrils which are important feature metrics. The camouflaged photo provides a "kind of" two factor authentication (2FA) because if any rogue site were to post it then any skeptic could easily question it by sending me an email.
    • BTW there are commercial de-identification (D-ID) applications which obscure photos with nearly unobservable distortion where the obscured photo would intentionally fail to pass high quality photo ID techniques such as a passport scanner.
    • An interesting new FOSS D-ID technique (patentable?) would be to inject a barely visible Eurion currency watermark into a photograph, because an Eurion currency watermark would render such a photograph uncopyable by all commercial imaging software for fear that currency is being counterfeit.
