"Image-based spam is a particularly difficult problem for a couple of reasons," noted Michael Osterman, founder and principal of Osterman Research. "It is much harder to detect with conventional spam-filtering and blocking technologies. Further, it is typically much larger than normal text-based spam, consuming much more bandwidth and storage."
Image exchange and settlement are conducted through SVPCO's Distributed Traffic Agent (DTA), a solution developed by SVPCO with VECTORsgi, one of its strategic technology partners. The DTA enables financial institutions to transmit check images directly to each other cost effectively. The DTA works in conjunction with existing item-processing systems to link institutions into the network and enables institutions to directly exchange payloads of electronic images. The network provides complete end-to-end encryption to ensure that all customer data remains private and secure.
Image spam, which looks just like any other text email, consists of a .jpg or .gif graphic consisting of words embedded in the picture. Although the images used in one spam campaign appear identical in most cases, each image is actually unique, making it very difficult to detect.

Returns an ImageCapabilities object which can be inquired as to the capabilities of this Image on the specified GraphicsConfiguration. This allows programmers to find out more runtime information on the specific Image object that they have created. For example, the user might create a BufferedImage but the system may have no video memory left for creating an image of that size on the given GraphicsConfiguration, so although the object may be acceleratable in general, it is does not have that capability on this GraphicsConfiguration.
