Re: KML data security

Hello,

LOL! I certainly tool no offence - it's good that people are thinking of this kind of thing. It's quite common for a licence agreement for a data set to include a clause preventing the user for publishing subsets in which the data can be 'reverse engineered' back to its raw form, so something like this would be invaluable in the future.

I guess you're looking at preventing viewing the data once it's in GE but I'm not sure how you'd prevent the user from intercepting it on its way from the Internet. Will you be able to prevent right-click, save-as?



Simon.
