🛡️ Security Considerations

PNGProtect adds a strong layer of security, but best practices must still be followed:

• Key Management Never hardcode encryption or protection keys in source code.

• Backups Always retain original image backups. Some protection methods may be irreversible if keys are lost.

• Layered Security For maximum protection, combine PNGProtect with authentication and access-control mechanisms.
