This technology includes systems, methods, and media designed to confirm the authenticity of image content.
The spread of misinformation has become increasingly common in the digital era given recent advancements in artificial intelligence. The spread of images portraying fabricated or altered information can be used to sway opinions, manipulate trials or elections, and defame individuals, posing a serious threat to democracy and society. Therefore, there is a need for robust methods to confirm image authenticity for digital media sources.
This technology is a method for verifying the authenticity of digital images. This approach comprises capturing an image with a camera, digitally signing the image with a unique signature, and remotely storing the data. These signatures can be stored securely within the image’s metadata or using a public tamper-proof storage system such as blockchain. This method also implements a dedicated verification service for any user to verify the authenticity of the image, assessing the digital signature and a history of all changes made to the image.
