Can you afford to have your stories and photos stolen from your blog or elsewhere and posted on other sites across the world?
How do you prove you are the owner-author of what you create?
Online theft is and has been rampant on the Internet for decades. IFWTWA is very much aware of this trend and takes a proactive approach to helping members authenticate their identities and work in cyberspace by partnering with DigiProve.com
What do we get out of this arrangement? Free digital signature services to protect and prove that what we write and create is OURS before we put it on the Internet.
What do you get? A chance to protect your personal work — your blog, photos and stories — with a subscription to Digiprove services for up to 40% off their regular prices.
What does Digiprove get? Sunshine from all of us on social media and, subscriptions to their services.
This win-win situation is already paying big dividends for the Association. Digiprove blocked more the 100 attempts to steal your stories and photos from FWT magazine during the first four days it was in service on that site.
What is the Digiprove Service?
It’s a digital signature service using public-private key cryptography. A user signs his or her work using Digiprove tools. The hash or calculated value of the cryptographic signature of each file is irrefutable and non-reputable and stored on a third-party server, in this case, at Digiprove in Ireland. This arm’s-length relationship with a third party for authentication and non-repudiation is essential in cyberspace transactions.
Digiprove will help the Association and members personally to authenticate their work and their identities in cyberspace with a non-refutable audit trail in the event they ever need to validate their identities or work to third parties.
