I would imagine that in the future video encoders will start to automatically include a cryptographic signature every X frames, which then players will become aware of and show an indicator for "original / modified" content.

It'd be too easy to fake, just replace the sensor in an approved camera with your own data feed. And that's assuming it wouldn't be somewhat trivial to dump keys from one or more cameras on the market to create a an easy tool or resignvideo.com... which is a massive assumption. As the movie industry has already seen, cryptography doesn't help you when you push out the keys to everyone. It'd be about as effective as D…

Invisible watermarking can be encoded into video frames. https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/... I remember visiting the MIT media lab when I was in college, they described the audio version of "invisible watermarking" - manipulating the source audio with a generated acoustic effect, similar to a doppler shift. The effect is not detected by the human ear, but signal analysis can translate it i…

I don't follow ?

I believe it's a reference to a general effect of regulation, which is by making the business being regulated more expensive due to following regulations, it prevents smaller businesses from popping up to potentially displace the larger business. For a generally positive example of this, see a good chunk of the history of Silicon Valley with smaller tech companies displacing larger companies like IBM, because there w…

To any one who reads this, don't actually do that. I wouldn't put it past Facebook to file a serious lawsuit against you. If it spread far enough, you could cause serious damage, and the SEC might even get involved.

If I were going to do this, and I thought it would cause such a storm, I'd take a raspi wardriving and find an open router somewhere, and then upload it via TOR to liveleak or imgur or something like that using an old netbook sourced from Craigslist. Then wipe the devices used and sell 'em back on Craigslist, or drop 'em off at Goodwill or some recycling company. Plausibly deniable and all that.

I am so tempted to reply with a BS. Because this is a super hard problem, with hundreds of edge cases making it even harder, some tried to solve it in the past, with underwhelming results. Yes, this is utter BS, sorry.

If you're gonna call BS, just do it! I am curious to know more about this space because it's all very new to me. What failed solutions were tried in the past? Which issues does Truepic fail to address? And is it even possible to address these failures?
