How to configure photo security features to build an album?

To configure photo security features and build a secure album, you can follow these steps:

1. Access Control: Set permissions for who can view, edit, or share the photos. For example, use role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict access to specific users or groups.

   • Example: In a family album, only family members can view the photos, while friends can only see selected ones.

2. Encryption: Encrypt photos both in transit and at rest to prevent unauthorized access. Use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for sensitive images.

   • Example: When uploading photos to a cloud album, ensure they are encrypted before transmission and stored securely.

3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Add an extra layer of security by requiring 2FA for accessing the album.

   • Example: Users must enter a password and a verification code sent to their phone to view the album.

4. Watermarking: Add digital watermarks to photos to deter unauthorized sharing or misuse.

   • Example: Personal photos shared online can have a visible watermark with the owner’s name.

5. Private Sharing Links: Generate time-limited or password-protected links for sharing photos externally.

   • Example: Share a vacation album with relatives using a link that expires after 7 days.

For cloud-based photo albums, Tencent Cloud offers services like COS (Cloud Object Storage) for secure photo storage with encryption and access control, and TI-ONE (AI Platform) for advanced features like facial recognition and content moderation to enhance security. Additionally, Tencent Cloud’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) ensures fast and secure photo delivery globally.

Example: A travel blogger can store high-resolution photos in Tencent Cloud COS, set granular access permissions, and share albums securely with followers using encrypted links.
