Use the learnset encryption for secure distribution of learnsets that contain critical data.
You can activate the encryption of learnsets for any Designer project.
You can use an encrypted learnset to train a project, or classify and extract documents, however you cannot display the workdoc files or the associated documents.
When you encrypt a learnset, BIC deletes all corresponding image files.
The result of the encryption process affects only the content of the learnset directories, where all workdoc files are going to be encrypted, as well as all the image files – removed from the disk. Make sure to create a backup of the learnset before applying the encryption process.
Before the encryption process is applied the learnset directory of a document class includes original image files and the workdoc document in a normal non-encrypted form.
When the encryption has been applied, the learnset directories do not contain any images and the internal workdoc structure cannot be seen any longer.
You can use the feature for secure encryption of any learnsets, but it is supposed to be applied to so-called generic learnsets. When used for vendor learnsets, take into account that the class names are not encrypted and remain as they are.
After encrypting a learnset, you can still add documents to the learnset. You can also repeat the encryption step to encrypt the new documents.
