Buying an SSL cert is not cheap.
As a workaround, we could do encryption in the client. So any pictures sent to or from the server over the internet would be already encrypted.
This does mean the encryption key would need to be kept in the source code on the client, which could theoretically be reverse engineered, but would not be easy.
