As Nick said. If you want secure don't use the image service use the
Blobstore and authenticate.  Image service works like a CDN with no
authentication so that assets can be served very quickly.  This is the trade
off, Faster serving, no ability to restrict by user.

But if my application is critical? I dont wanna tell enybody, that he's
images are in a secure place, but some one hava a 1 / 2^256 chances to get
access. So, if i saved my image in the blobstore, and want to serve this
images within the ImageService, how can i acomplish this, securely?

 

Thanks

Hi Bruno,

 

The only part of the Images API that provides an external URL is
get_serving_url. If you want to control access to image blobs, don't use
that functionality, and serve images yourself (using the blobstore serving
support) after performing authentication checks.
