How Thumbnails Are Created and Secured
When adding your images to GhostVolt, a 256x256 thumbnail is first created, encrypted, and stored within your GhostVolt repository. When viewing, GhostVolt decrypts a copy of the thumbnail into memory and shows it within your GhostVolt Explorer. Decrypted copies are immediately destroyed using standard shredding algorithms and techniques.
