Sony has announced the availability of its in-camera forgery-proof photo technology that cryptographically signs photos at the point of capture which allows photographers to detect if the image is manipulated or tampered with down the line.
The tech, which is aimed at corporate business uses, uses digital signatures that are processed by the camera at the point of capture and allow photographers to detect if any modifications have been made to an image and, as the company says, thus protect them from fraudulent usage.
The company says that this technology was developed in response to what it calls “widespread issues” with unauthorized editing and “misconduct” around digital photo data. The forgery-proof technology is based on standard cryptography and when activated, images are immediately processed with a unique signature by the camera’s processor.
