Blockchain a turnkey for fraud proof video

Fax Quintus (i-mmersive GmbH)

slides (pdf)

​

The image or video was a solid proof of truth at court, but since video-editing tools have become more and more perfect the digital image lost its power as validation in court.

Now, with the deep fake video techniques even human faces can be swapped in detail view. In order to still have a proof out of surveillance systems, blockchain could be a powerful tool. On the camera there is a hardware rom with a private key, containing camera name, owner and encrypted key. This Key is used for calculating together with a public key, stored in the blockchain a pattern of slightly pitched pixels into the video image, so that it is easy to check if is original video or a modified one. The applications for such a development are endless, from security to surveillance to monitoring of cornfields.
