SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING SECURE DISPLAY OF EXTERNAL IMAGES

摘要

A system and method for securely displaying to a user images retrieved from an external image source. Upon the request for a product catalog by the user via a user interface a backend retrieves images for the product catalog from external image sources and converts the retrieved images to render inoperable potentially malicious code embedded in the images. The converted images may then be used in the product catalog displayed to the user via the user interface. In an embodiment, the frontend compiles the product catalog and requests images from the backend. Product catalog information may be stored in a database implemented at the backend.
