Not if you are running a skylake CPU with the new SGX instructions that encrypt RAM.

6, Enable software vendors to deliver trusted applications and updates
8. Enable applications to define secure regions of code and data that
maintain confidentiality even when an attacker has physical control
of the platform and can conduct direct attacks on memory.
By "trusted", Intel almost certainly means "trusted computing"/"trusted execution environment". It took a decade, but Palladium (NGSCB) is here.
Firefox already caved and ships the EME plugin, so obviously they would cave to an image-DRM plugin as well.
/* this is why it's so incre4dibly important to take a hard-line stance against DRM; it's a lot harder to reverse course once you cave and start accepting some DRM */
- MichaelGG 11y agoSGX doesn't provide a way to secure output at the moment. It's awesome for remote attestation. Like, you could run a probably secure Bitcoin tumbler. (Well I'm not sure how the key verification part works.) But it does not provide a way to stop me from pressing PrintScreen. I agree that they may expand it (MS's waste of engineers during the Vista period in their rush to provide Protected Media Path comes to mind.) But I'm also saying that web comics could do this today. But I'm guessing that they don't want to sacrifice the UI of just loading images.
