ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS)

Server software for Website Protection ArtistScope Site Protection Software (ASPS) is a server side module that encrypts web pages that have been tagged for copy protection.

The ArtistScope Site Protection Software (ASPS) server module can be installed on all Windows servers running IIS, and all Linux servers running either Apache or Nginx.

ASPS web pages use military grade encryption that can only be decrypted by the ArtisBrowser, thus creating a secure tunnel between the server and the user's desktop from which nothing can be copied or extracted in any way.

However not all pages get encrypted - only the pages that are tagged for copy protection are encrypted, leaving all other pages accessible by search engines and normal web browsers. ASPS tags can be added to web pages manually or programmatically by using one the CMS plugins for ASPS Tag Management.

The minimum requirement is either a dedicated web server or VPS for the rights to install the ASPS module at system level.

ASPS Tag Management Plugins

The selection of web pages that you want to protect and the copy protection settings to apply to those pages is governed by meta-tags that you can add, and that task is very much simplified by using a plugin for your CMS that can nominate which pages are to be be protected without editing the page directly. The ASPS Tag Management plugin is available for Drupal, Joomla, Moodle and WordPress.

Frequent Questions and Answers


  • Does ASPS site protection include DRM features like with CopySafe PDF?

    No. Because most web sites today use a CMS like Drupal or WordPress to manage user accounts and logins. So it is best to use those existing features, use a custom add-on or modify the user management system already in place. However the ArtisBrowser does provide the unique Computer ID for each user that can be used to lock computers to individual accounts.

  • Can ASPS protected web pages be searched via Google?

    No. Only the ArtisBrowser can decode and read ASPS web page content. This is by design as copy protected content needs to remain impenetrable.

  • How does ASPS download speed compare with normal content?

    Apart from the fact that content is not cached, download speed will be the same for any first visit to a normal web page. The software has been designed and tested for high volume traffic with no apparent loss of performance or extra demand on a web server.

  • Can our own developers install this ASPS web security solution?

    No. When installed by ArtistScope the server licensing is guaranteed to work and the selection of server filter guaranteed to work for your server type. For example Apache can come in many different flavors and the various control panels installed by web hosts can alter their configuration. So when the ArtistScope team installs the filter, if an odd/new server distribution/configuration is encountered, our team can rebuild the filter software to suit and thus ensure that your web security solution is ready to use.

  • Our corporate network uses Firefox or IE. Can these web browsers be used?

    No. Only the ArtisBrowser can decrypt the encrypted page data and display according to the protection level set for each page.

  • Which programming languages are supported by ASPS site protection?

    All of them. The ASPS filter encrypts and delivers the final web page, which is the HTML already assembled by your server side code. So it doesn't matter if your site uses ASP.Net, PHP, Ruby or beetle juice to create your web pages.

  • Can the ArtisBrowser be used on a terminal server?

    No. This is not recommended at all because if a user on the same server visits a protected page SQL server functions will stop. ASPS server software can be used on any server, but use of the ArtisBrowser to visit that content must done from a separate server, computer or virtual partition.

  • Can I test the ASPS website protection on my server before purchase?

    No. ASPS website protection requires software to be installed at server level by our support team. However you can use the Protect-Anywhere demo to mirror any web page via our ASPS server. But note that any sites like Vimeo will have protection in place to prevent mirroring of their content.

  • Can the ArtisBrowser be used on all devices and OS such as phones?

    Yes. As of April 2021 the ArtisBrowser is available for all Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.

  • What are the alternatives for a copy protected web site?

    Nothing that compares. However the CopySafe solutions can provide copy protection for Images, PDF and Video but they are limited in that a Windows computer is required to view them.
